Best Wing And A Prayer Poems


A Wing and a Prayer

Lord, bless us with a wing and a prayer,
Guardian angels to shine on Earth down here,
And on all the folk down under, my dears,
Let angels pray for mendicants at charities and welfare,
For druggies and their dealers, somewhere,
For these folk, not much Christmas cheer,
Lord, bless our nations with a wing and a prayer, 
Guardian angels to pray for Peace on Earth this year,
Please guide wise leaders, our buccaneers,
Towards Peace, all of us to steer, 
For all humanity, let angels pray, my dears, 
Lord, bless us with a wing and a prayer.

The Guy On a Wing and a Prayer, Origins

Gikuyu the father of the peoples
Came down from the heavens
Accompanied by a spirit - Nyaga
They came to this realm earth..

The soul Gikuyu and the spirit..
Journeyed from the land of light..
Touching down on the sacred mountain
Kerenyaga - they surveyed the land.. Bururi

It was home to beautiful ridges and valleys
Spoke the spirit Nyaga.. Son this is all yours
Tend the soil its your inheritance..
Surprised for the spirit had been silent..

Silent from the beginning of the journey
Only issuing telepathic communication
Gikuyu turned to where the spirit stood
Now stood the heartbeast - Ostrich

Then the Supreme deity - Mwene nyaga
Addressed gikuyu thus.. Man master the land
The land will offer you life and possessions
From today you are a mortal your immortality
Nonetheless rest in your soul... in your blood
I have bestowed dominion over all..

Whenever you or your descendants are in need
They shall come to the sacred mountain and offer
A sacrifice to the supreme creator Ngai Murungu
You and the spirit Nyaga owe obeyance to Ngai...

The seers in their wisdom say life came from
Water, Earth, Air, Fire and a foreign element
They use the symbol of the ostrich.. Esoteric
They say life- muoyo.. came with Nyaga.. Ostrich

A Wing and a Prayer

If the wings travel faster than the fuselage,
And you are in a helicopter, that’s ok
However if you are in any other aircraft
It’s probably a very good time to pray


Premium Member A Wing and a Prayer

Lord, I'm on a wing and a prayer,
And I know you are in control up there.
I feel close to you flying above the clouds below...
Don't give up on me Lord, I have a ways to go!

A Hope a Wing and a Prayer

A Hope, A Wing And A Prayer
By Charles Gerald Patrick Chard 2nd 
		Chevra Gavri Hanita Hazaka Abir Selek 2nd 

Who is able to deliver us?
Who is able to take this rain, this creator of rust?
The rain may be good for the seed and the plants,
This amount of rain will kill all the ants,
It creates in us such despair and gloom,
Must all the day we sing a durge,
With streams of utter depressing surge,
Can’t go no where, Can’t do anything at all,
Waiting daily for some relief that’s all,
Where O where can the sun be?
Wondering so miserably, 
What hope have we got, on a wing or a prayer?
Is there any hope at all out there?
