Collaborating In the Clouds

When I was a child with childish ways, I tried to find you in the sky. When days were warm and clouds were few I fancied I saw you there so high. I spoke to you and you answered me. My ears were so attuned to hear. "I encourage you to dream your dreams And promise to be always near." Then I grew older and I thought more wise, I, from my fancies turned away. The world was new and enticing, Lord And kept me busy every day. I could no longer hear your voice, I seldom looked at the summer sky. For many years I doubted you, Squandering the days as each went by. Now that I am growing old, I’m listening for your voice again. "You know that I've been with you,Child, Through all your joys and in your pain". As summer spreads her fruits around I look up to the bright, blue sky And try to find your face again In cumulus clouds floating so high. By: Joyce Johnson
