TO THE WINDTO THE WIND
I felt the wind beneath my feet as I ascended up high
The sun was warm as all my heart as I headed towards the sky.
The ones below were hard to see but I knew that they were there.
One waved to me with tears in eyes and beckoned me to stare.
"Don't go, Don't go!" one cried out to me "Please don't go away."
They fell to their knees and prayed for God to let me stay.
As sure as faith resided in me, I knew not what to do
True I love the ones I left, but Lord know I love Him too!
I tried to stop the wind that carried me up to space,
but though I struggled, determined it was to take me to heaven's place.
The person reached, but no near touched, with hope so strong and true,
I gave a soft smile and waved goodbye and told them what to do.
"Look for me to the sky," I said. "And pray that I may see
The One who will dry all our tears, the One who created me."
Soon a warmth came over me and showered down to earth
and all those who yearned for me felt comfort in all its girth.
Light engulfed my entire soul as the wind kissed my face
How blessed I was to live a life with such redeeming grace!
And to the ones I left behind, I love you with all my heart can say.
How sorry I am to close my eyes and abandon you this way.
But God is calling me, you see
My name He roars up highAnd to the wind blessed be His name,
just pay homage to the sky
