Kite

God crafted you
and gifted you to me

It was meant for me
to teach you
how to soar across the sky
with only a thin string
in my unskilled hands

I was so scared
to let you fly high
watching the wind toss you
into the unknown
doing somersaults
in the middle of a storm
keeping your head
above the murky clouds

You agilely danced
across the atmosphere
rode above the turbulence
trusting I had the string
to keep you afloat

I looked at my empty hands
I looked up at your freedom
and marvelled
God had filled the uncertainty
in between

  3. So very thought provoking.. anxious and soothing, at the same time.
    Very beautiful.
    One to save and re-read from time to time.
    Blessings…..

      1. Funny.. as I was reading this.. I did, in fact, think of my sons.
        Four, actually, aged from mid 40’s through 50: and still, at times, I feel the never ending anxiety of a parent.
