the road to heaven
♪a rhymed, mirrored octet♪
i w i s h i were a l i t t l e bird
that knew the road to heaven
for when the sun is set
and the world lies still
i would t r a v e l
on a star
to my
rest
lest
my cry
strays afar
may the marvel
of my Father’s Will
relieve me of earth’s debt
for when i am f o r g i v e n
i’ll fly home like a l i t t l e bird

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away. . .
Lovely, Cabcool.

Thanks, Ahavati.
Your quoting of this old-time favourite has reminded me of another -- a spiritual, "Deep River" [https://youtu.be/LiIURFm63Yk].
Your constant support lifts my efforts.

Super thanks, AltairEndian!
I do not recall meeting you before.
You took time to visit, to read, and to commend: what more could I ask? I'm glad the message can fly on its own wings.
