I search for the freedom
That these small golden birds
Seem to possess as they
Float effortlessly above my words
Animated figures upon a screen
Placed by the hand of this poet
To many of the words
I bring to you from my heart
Freedom of heart and soul
Touches my prayers nightly as
I look beyond my tomorrow's
Looking beyond tomorrow
I seek to place
Yesterday's heartaches
Within a place where they can
Somehow be forgiven
Kneeling in prayer that one day
They can be truly be forgotten
Looking beyond tomorrow
I see questions remaining
That may never be answered
In faith realizing that they
Are but a part
Of the Master's plan
In my tomorrow's remains
The steadfast hope and faith
That will allow me to one day fly
Far beyond the heights
That birds will ever soar
My heartaches few compared
To my rewards that lies ahead
Is the promise I have been given
And claim as my truth
Life can and does become
Overwhelming at times
But there is always the promise
