I stand and look out upon the
green and snow and trees...
so close I can touch them, with
my mind.
My arms at my side slowly rise
and shiver and quiver...
awaiting the flight I will take,
with my mind.
How much has my inner person
grown!?
How much joy can I contain!?
You who took my anger and
confusion and illusion...
wrapped in a stripe from me to
you, in my mind.
Like an eagle I climb high with
soaring and sailing...
while sheltered in your warmth,
in my mind.
You gave me growth.
You gave me joy.
You gave me wings of heart and wisdom
and faith.
