Reach out a wing
And help me find the strength I need
To climb out of this hole
Filled with despair
~~~
Can’t go alone, oh no
I need a helping hand
Heaven holds
The answer to my prayer
~~~
Long ago my momma cried
That awful sad sad day
When my daddy died
I saw what you could do
~~~
Now, she’s gone and left me here
The end for her
Was far too near
Why does life always end up this way
~~~
Reach out a wing to me
Show me God’s own grace
Lift me from this valley where I’m found
Reach out a wing to me
Save me in this place
Let me see the goodness all around
Reach out a wing to me
Won’t you, won’t you please…
Reach out a wing
~~~
Now I’m in my fifties
And I finally found the truth
The strength I needed then
Deep down inside
~~~
I hope my children see today
What I missed so miserably
Way back when, yeah
All those years in pride
~~~
And I know momma would be proud
The helpful hand out in the crowd
Loving those
Who never found their way
~~~
I guess this was just the time
When God’s great plan began to shine
And showed me what’s inside
Of one man’s grace
~~~
Reach out a wing to me
Show me God’s own grace
Lift me from this valley where I’m found
Reach out a wing to me
Save me in this place
Let me see the goodness all around
Reach out a wing to me
Show me God’s own grace
Lift me from this valley where I’m found
Reach out a wing to me
Save me in this place
Let me see the goodness all around
Reach out a wing to me
Won’t you, won’t you please…
Reach out a wing
Reach out a wing
Reach – out- your- wing
Such a wonderful poem!

Beautiful. Reminds me of Psalm 57:1: “And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.”

Kewl… Not sure what hads are, but I’m guessing hands… ;-))) So, I was reading some “autocorrected” texts the other day, and I swear I was laughing so hard I couldn’t see through my tears… I am soooo guilty of not checking my texts until after they are gone… Ha… Jokes on me!!

I don’t do autocorrect, but it often leads to terrible misspellings. Still, my favorite quote is “It is a damn poor mind indeed which cannot think of at least two ways to spell any word.”

You delve into grief in a meaningful way, accepting the loss but living into the relationship in news ways and always there is hope.
