The Wings of a Faithful Heart

As You Become a Child of God You Are a New Creation.

As I come out of my shell,
And I begin to flutter my wings
With the sounds of love,
I begin to fly with the soft sound of prayer--
With the strong hands of God
Which hold me high.

And as my wings are touched with
The richness of love,
I am encouraged to try to fly.

And as my wings get stronger and stronger
I'm willing to fly higher and higher--

With every beat of my heart.
So then my love grows deeper and
Deeper within my faithful
Wings.

Would You Still Love Me

I dedicate this poem to those who are fighting M.S. and Cancer.

If my legs And feet would not
work anymore,
And if I should lose my hair,
Would you still love me?

If I did not become the
Perfect person you wanted me
To be,
And if I became blind and deaf
And lost all my strength,
Would you still love me?

Yes, said the Lord, for you are my
Child, and I love you,
And there is nothing in this
World that would keep me
From you.
(Romans 8:31-39)
