Slowing Down!

I asked my Jesus to let me see,
all the plans that He had for me.
He told me that I was not quite ready,
my life would have to be much more steady.
That what I had asked was something to great,
so I would have to slow down and wait.
He told me that patience is a virtue,
something that I would need to hold on to.
He said that to rush is not the best,
so come by My side, sit down and rest.

Jesus showed me a mother eagle,
who is clever, strong and regal.
How when she knows that it is time,
to gather the eaglets to soar and climb.
Up in to the clear, blue sky.
To teach her little ones how to fly.
She shakes them off and they begin to fall,
ever ready to catch them all.
She is patient with each one of them,
until they gain their strength and wisdom.
Soon they all begin to fly,
soaring, soaring up so high.

Then He turned to me and said,
This is the road I want you to tread.
To walk slowly down and learn,
what is around each new turn.
Sometimes on this road you will fall,
but all you have to do is call.
Please trust Me to prepare the way,
and you will be ready for that day.
When I will take all my children home,
no longer on this earth to roam.
So be patient to know my plan,
because in the end you shall stand,
with the others who have asked before,
what for them I had in store.
