When in times of trouble,
My eyes look to the skies,
~ To the wide open spaces
Where the proud eagle flies.

I rise above the mundane
And soar among the clouds,
Leaving all my problems,
~ Escaping all the crowds.

Gliding on the thermals,
I'm flying high and free,
With the sun's warming rays,
Beaming down on me.

I can see forever,
Across skies, land, and seas.
I drift on gentle breezes
And sail away with ease.

When in times of trouble,
My eyes look to the skies,
To the wide open spaces
Where the proud eagle flies.

Sometimes when you are in trouble, it does wonders to just look at the clear blue skies and picture yourself soaring up there - without a care in the world. Thanks for sharing this with us.
