Oh, How You Will Fly
written by: FC Malby
@fcmalby
Your beauty lies in what you do not show, your
strength in what you hide. You weathered storms
unseen and gather up the broken pieces to
hand to the potter. He will make all things new
restore what was lost. Only those who are
quiet will hear your song carried on a breeze
across oceans. The lark calls at daylight, the
owl by night. How sweet are the words of the
one bringing good news. When the world is still
you will wait for kind words and honest deeds,
but for now the sting and slap of nature’s storm
has left its marks and bruises. As the starling
shelters her little ones from the wind and from
predators, so will the creator hold you near
under the wings of angels and he will speak
in quiet tones because he knows this will
draw you near. Loud words make you cower
and twist, turn your ear away. But he knows
you need a gentle touch and a healing balm.
When you are ready, your wings will unfurl
and you’ll fly, my child, oh how you will fly
you will soar above the winds across oceans.
