Notes About The Poem

A Place In the Sun

Imagine, if you can, that I were a cloud I would wear a new crown, of silver display a shining example of grace over shrouds I would drift past the sun, with no fear of the crowd I would treasure the world from a new point of view Astonished to see how vast and how blue With the rush of wind, that brushes my face I would hear every bird, feel every embrace While God with His arms, surrounds me in love I'd belong to a place in the sky, far above I wouldn't drift all alone, but have new inner peace I would open my heart and dream of new things The earth could be peaceful, as never before Where confidence reigned along every shore Above, me the sun would be ever warm The world would resolve all the hurts of the day I would weave a new song, lean into His arms and sail to the music, straight out of the gray Feeling God and His presence, like soft wings of a dove From my place in the sunlight, that is shining with love
