~~SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE~~

When the "storms of life
gather darkly ahead,

I think of these wonderful words
I once read

And I say to myself
as "threatening clouds" hover

Don't "fold up your wings"
and "run for cover"

But like the eagle
"spread wide your wings"

And "soar far above"
the troubles life brings,

For the eagle knows
that the higher he flies

The more tranquil and brighter
become the skies...

And there is nothing in life
God ever asks us to bear

That we can't soar above
"ON THE WINGS OF PRAYER,"

And in looking back over
the "storm you passed through"

You'll find you gained strength
and new courage, too,

For in facing "life's storms"
with an EAGLE'S WINGS

You can fly far above
earth's small, petty things.

"STORMS BRING OUT THE EAGLES
BUT THE LITTLE BIRDS TAKE COVER"
Poem by
~Helen Steiner Rice~

...they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with
wings as eagles....
Isaiah 40:31
