Storms Bring Out The Eagles but the Little Birds Take Cover : Helen S Rice

When the "storms of life"
gather darkly ahead.
I think of these wonderful words
I once read
And I say to myself




as "threatening clouds hover
Don't "fold up your wings"
and "run to cover"



But like the eagle
"spread wide your wings"
And "soar far above"
the troubles life brings.



For the eagle knows
that the higher he flies
The more tranquil and brighter
become the skies ...
And there is nothing in life
God ever ask us bear
That we cannot soar above
"ON WINGS OF PRAYER"



And in looking back over
the "storm that you pass through"
You'll find you gained strength
and new courage too,
For in facing "life's storms"
with an EAGLE'S WINGS
You can fly far above
earth's small, petty things.
