I dance on the ledge that is way too high…

When I wanted to dance on that ledge that was way to high

when I was a foolish naive woman child

You did not judge me rather you told me to try

when the summer storm cleared the sky I cried

 

I cried because I made mistakes and had deep wounds to show

I cried because I grieved the things that had ravaged my soul

I cried because I am grateful that you never let me go

You said whenever you are ready I will take you home…

and never more will you cry…

 

I still dance on high ledges because life is a thrill

I cherish my wisdom and my fine woman skills

I gladly now bow to you my Lord and King

So whenever you are ready my heart will take wing…

and I will be home with you…

 

The Lillies of the field sing for me

The waves of the sea are my dance

The stars in the heavens are my guiding light

As I dance on the ledge that is way too high!

  1. Beautiful! In it you capture the thrill and regret of life. It seems way too late we get around to grieving the regrets, and losses, and wrong turns, and wasted time. I am glad for the wisdom of years, but I should have heeded wisdom’s voice much sooner. It was extended to me by the Spirit, but I was busy with frivolity.
