Learning to Fly
Give me wings to fly
so that I can rise above these trivial worries.
Help me to get a real perspective on what is going on around
me and not be simply drawn in to the unimportant things that
I get so precious about.
Let me see things as others do – help me to
understand their world first instead of trying to make
it like mine.
As I circle overhead let me breathe and pause before
I say anything else.
Let me absorb your peace that passes all understanding
and slowly feel the difference of the pause, the break in the
ping-pong conversation,the opportunity to pull back from the
heat and let your love break in.
And then I come back down.
It’s only been seconds up there, no one saw but you
have enabled me to move beyond where I was and now I can help
everyone else move on as I behave differently.
O God, can I keep those wings now?
