Flight Plan

Familiar faces lie far apart,
bless, dear Jesus, her hopeful heart.

Divorce done, guardianship ground out;
two fam’lies expect her routine route.

Long lonely flights yet lie ahead,
tearful times and unknown dark dread.

Her world woven with go and come strings;
Gracious God, You work good in all things.

Complex childhood – how will she cope?
God alone holds her highest hope.
