wreckless daughter

©C.Graves, 2005 

contemplates
endless skies
finds how to pray
before she dies

yearning
her words will be heard
humbly seeking
to return as a bird

ohhh

she needs
to learn to love
helps her through the night
helps her rise above

she wants
to spread her wings
like a song bird
open up and sing

ohhh

and she said…
I never knew
I could ask
And receive
 
Day by day
discover faith
and one day believe

Flying
Cross the water
Headed home
Reckless daughter

He agrees
He’ll lead the way
Takes her hand when she goes astray

ohhh
