IVAN'S ISLAND

WELCOME

TO

THE SOUTH SHORE

Go Fly Away

You've reached the runway The plane leaves at dawn Start up your engines Its time to move on The world that awaits you Will challange your mind So glide like an eagle And see what you find Choose God as co-pilot Before this great flight Then reach for the stars And follow the light If you become blinded When storm clouds arise Trust your co-pilot To open your eyes The Lord is beside you You need nothing more He'll give you the strength To rise and to soar

This poem was written as a message on a graduation card for my youngest son and several of his classmates.

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, They will soar on wings like eagles..." ISAIAH 40:30-31
