Living Vicariously
Do you ever look into the field of azure
to a plane just a dot in the sky
and imagine yourself in the cockpit
As it freely ambles by
Looking down on this patchwork of earth below
Unfettered as free as a bird
having escaped the bird catchers net
by gravity no longer deterred
Slowly ploughing celestial heights
Scattering seeds of hope
When in the trenches look heavenwards
A visible reminder to cope
Rise above it brethren
Reach out touch the face of God
Draw closer to him he'll draw closer to you
This promise thankfully applaud
