Lying in the soft clover Looking up at the wonderous clouds I was a tiny little nothing, to the world I dreamed of flying and soaring Over skies of ancient ruins Over lands that time forgot My imagination lingered I was the pilot of day dreams My attention ever wandering out the window Small seeds were planted In my daily life, in my heart The Bible, and Jesus Christ And a certain passage took my breath That made me whole That made my dreams a reality One that amazed and conquered My childish ways Delivering me upwards in enlightenment One that, in it's truth In surrendering and faith Would defy worldly nature And make all things lie waste Compared to his Promise and Love Glory to me, defined They that wait upon the Lord Shall renew their strength They shall mount up with wings as eagles And soar [This message has been edited by rwood (edited 03-20-2000).] |

Dear R; OOOOOOh! I love this poem and that is one of my favorite scriptures. Did you ever hear the song "On eagles wings"? It's the whole scripture set to music, almost as lovely as your poem, but not as lovely as you. Love, Ellie 02 |

O How Lovely, It's nice to know that Isaiah 40:31 is a favorite of yours_ I think that says alot about you personally! And you did a wonderful job of introducing it to us, and showing how it came to be instilled in you. WELL DONE, my friend- thank tou for taking the challenge and sharing with us in this wonderful way, David |

RWOOD, I really enjoyed this. especially the transcendent imagery (clouds, ruins, soaring) and how it was all metaphorical of spiritual truth and God's word. By the way, I appreciate your response to my "Sparrows Also Dream". Keep up the good writing to the Glory of God. |
