Poems from Prison: part III

This was written in 2004 when I was leaving Mayo Clinic.  I was flying back after being in the hospital for several weeks.  It was a very hard time for me.  It's written on a brown paper bag...one that I could throw up in in case I was sick. 

As I sit up here @ 33,000 feet

I see all my beautiful dreams that I will forever keep. 

But when I look down it reminds me of a scary world

one of sin and sorrow; to many heartbreaks to keep score. 

But then I look up 

and glimpse God's face

I am reminded that He's holding me up

Him and Him alone, my saving Grace

So just as this airplane 

soars through the sky

with views of both heartache and tender abide

God is also protecting me

He won't let me fall

Abba is teaching me faithfulness

through views of the world below.
