I Fly Poem by Daniel Nairn

Standing on the edge
Looking toward the west
The mountains all around
And the valley far below
I lift me eyes to the Sun
And leap.

The wind rushes past
As I fly through the air
I can soar on my own
Till I look to the ground
And find I was fooled
I am falling;
I am dying.

As my eyes close tightly
I hear a voice in my ear
'No wings of your own;
I am the one who gives you flight
Look to the Sun and believe
I hold you in my arms
I will not let you fall
If you would only
Let go.

So I open my eyes slowly
Look to the Sun
And He smiles
And He carries me in His arms
And we soar to the west
The sun lighting my eyes
Forever.
