To Fly

I watch the birds as they fly in the sky On a peaceful and sunny day I close my eyes and I let out a sigh How I wish on a wing with them I could stay. As in the sky they are soaring above all man They are so much closer and clearer to GOD Oh how I wish I wasn't bounded upon the land As they are the dreams that I have sought. Just to soar in the sky either day and night And just to sail the oceans of the sky above As to me there is not a happier sight And to myself I think there probably never was. I wish that I could take up wings and fly And no longer be home or earthen bound To be a free soul and just sail the sky And then maybe one day touch the ground. To feel the breeze constantly upon my face The pleasures only birds and angels do know If that one gift was given upon by GOD's grace Then I might realize some secrets GOD does know. So until that time I will just dream and wish That up in the sky I am sailing and soaring high Though it I never did and already it I miss Oh how I wish I was like a bird and fly in the sky. Randy L.
