Big Picture

The balloons went up to the blue sky in the air
And I just knew my prayers would be answered from there
Quickly floating above the tree tops in a wind so strong,
Even with all the hurdles, it felt nothing could go wrong
Across the mountains and valley far and wide,
I could see the big picture, with faith on my side
Yet I knew there is no avoiding troubled times ahead,
My mind could see beyond it all and my soul was fed
With nourishment, strength, and things from the past,
I knew my life’s purpose would be fulfilled at last
