These days I’m looking skyward
Into the blue of the morning, the grey of the storm,
And the gold of the sunset.
The peak breaks the clouds to let the sun filter through.
Breathtaking.
It was a hawk that I saw, I think.
It cut through the wind, soaring higher than the very
mountains.
And I ran and I laughed and I jumped,
But the wind did not take me up to join it.
Still, these days I’m looking skyward.
Because the ground is full of flowers and trees that reach
up as hard as they can,
And me, too. I’m reaching up.
I’m ready to fly.
P.S. I will be gone for a little over two weeks! Candence Declan will be gone as well, so Monday Madness will return probably July 27th. Anyway, I'm off to camp and I can't wait! I will have lots of stories to tell when I get back, I am sure. Until then, as the Guatemalans say, may God richly bless you. |
