Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 This poem was written by an acquaintance of mine who has written many such pieces equally nice. Hope you enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Celestial Wings of Prayer As softly as the dove doth fly Across this land so free As steadfast as a ship that sails Across a tranquil sea. As soothing as a summer rain That falls upon the ground As wondrous as a drop of dew In morning list is found. As tender as a baby's kiss Upon a mother's cheek As sturdy as a father's hands Where strength we often seek. As lovely as a blooming rose Upon a climbing vine As steady as the heart that beats Within this breast of mine. As humble as a beggar's plea Upon a listening ear As caring as the one who kindly Wipes away a tear. As fragile as a new born colt Who tries to find his way As graceful as a stately swan One fine September day. As gentle as the rush of wings Of angels bound in flight As sacred as the eastern sky That shone one holy night. As vital as the Book of life You'll find a refuge there As precious as the Lamb of God The celestial wings of prayer. ~Marilyn Ferguson~ Copyright 2002 ~ " If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.
