He was born in the usual way. br Born innocent in the world and its ways. br Not knowing what was in store. br He did not know where he was going, br and didn't really care, br He just wanted the love of his mother. br Taught to care for the flesh br but also to care for the soul br The body taught to be strong in the world br Learned all the ways to sustain his being br in this world, br But also learning how to maintain the soul br Forever growing learning the way of the light br Able to know things visible and invisible br Learning of the love of the angels br And of the Father , the Son, and the Holy Ghost br And he learned of life eternal. br Then came the time to learn to fly br A plunge out of the nest br With a hope to soar high br Only to fall to the earth.A flutter here, a flutter there br But he just couldn't take to the air. br Then the serpent showed himself. br Tempting the soul, promising to help br him to fly. br But in his heart wanting to devour him br and to kill his soul. br The serpent lunged for him br and through the panic into the air he went. br Higher and higher, taking his place where br eagles belong br Finally spreading his wings, feeling the br power of God in him br Soaring to heights where eagles and angels br fly br Turning to the east he was heading home br His eyes on the light ever soaring higher br Finally finding his home at br Heavens front door. br Now he is home with Jesus forever more. br No more sorrow, no more pain, no more worries br Just rejoicing and praising our Lord.
