In Nineteen Seventy Four

In seventy four I was drawn into the current

Of the purposes of God

And I never knew while it was happening

That step by step the future-Every mile that was trod

Would lead to a place where eagles find their wings

I would go on mission, step by step

Learn to sing the songs the Spirit would inspire

I remember  going without knowing, so inept

While sparking in my heart a growing holy fire

I would sing the songs, I would laugh with friends

I would be a part of something bigger than my ends

With some mentors as a guide-I would learn to confide

In a future hope I could not comprehend

In seventy four I was drawn into the current

Of the purposes of God

And I never knew while it was happening

That step by step the future-Every mile that was trod

Would lead to a place where eagles find their wings

Approaching my 50th HS Reunion
