Marycile Beer Poet Rhyme

On Eagles Wings

Above the Altar of our Church
There hangs a large Cross
To tell of Christ's punishment
For trying to save us all.

And when the light hits the Cross
I can not help but stare
The shadow that I do see
Brings to mind the song "On Eagles Wings."

The shadow of Christ's arms and hands
Are the wings that soar the land
And from His body and the cloth drape
The Eagle's body and tail take shape.

I realize I tend to see
Things no one sees but me
That's alright because I know
Christ hovers there above for us below.

And each time I see this Cross
I think about the one's I've lost
And know  they're so much better there with Him
Free from pain and whole again.

And as the song echoes through my mind
I look to this Cross and it fills my time
Knowing one day we'll ascend on Eagle's wings
And reside in Heaven with Christ our King.
