Slowly and Surely

For my dear Samantha our graduate of 2021

 

Slowly and surely her wings gained strength

The nest grew smaller

Her strength, mightier

The landings more confident, graceful and soft

Pursuing the next sure thing

As sure as it goes

One never knows

But by the grace of God

Her wings will carry her

His wind will keep her, hold her, surround her

Slowly and surely her wings gained strength

Through it all grant her Lord the ability to:

Persevere when dark clouds are looming

Press-on while the rain falls

Produce character as the climate changes

Predict the only constant in her life is you Lord-

Her strong tower

 

Love, Mom

 

“but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint” 

Isaiah 40:31

1. What a beautiful verbal prayerful send off as sweet Sam takes
   Off, rising on wings as eagles, run and not get weary, she can walk and not faint. You’ve let her go with your blessing and the blessing of the Lord surrounding her, angels guarding her. Still It’s not easy!❣️One day she will know. Bless you dear Sandee 😢💗. Another mother’s heart…

   • You let me go and gave me wings to fly – the Holy Spirit was the surge of wind that carried me through my hills and valleys xo
