Taking Flight

I wasn’t quite prepared for dawn

But dawn came anyway;

I wasn’t ready for the task

That I would face today.

But with the dawn I rose from bed

To pray with all my might,

Then stood and turned to face the day,

Spread my wings and took flight.

Beneath my wings I felt your hand

As I rose in the sun;

I knew you’d hold me through the day,

Until my task was done.
