I'll Fly

I'll Fly

Lord let me never forget

That you made me to fly

From earliest childhood

I’d dance and I’d sing

And you promised me more

That my heart would take wing

When I flounder and doubt

Because somebody said

Don’t listen to her

She’s got a big head

Well, my spirit was pricked

And the “God-air” seeped out

I was puzzled, I’d ponder

But my folks said “I’d pout”

But the child in me knew

That I’d fly with ease

Sprinkling stardust about me

With each “thank you and please”

Please make me whole, Jesus

Hold me and array me

Then I’ll fly with the eagles

No person or thing can delay me

Drowsy

Drowsy

Drowsy, drowsy, drowsy

Not scattered, tight, or blousy

Pod puffs floating in the air

Settling on the lashes tips of nose,

The hair

No need to explore or analyze

Fine to simply sit and close your eyes

All is safe and gently moves along

To and fro-ing easily

Like the cadence of a well known song
