“Angel Flying too close to the Ground”

Crystal Michelle Fallin

 If you had not have fallen

Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground

And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tryin' to keep your spirits up
And your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
My angel flying too close to the ground

Leave me if you need to, I will still remember
My angel flying too close to the ground

Song by Willie Nelson

“I Praise you for I am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made”

Psalm 139:8-16

If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Beauty in the Storm

There was a rawness about her

That many didn’t understand

She was chaos in the wind

And fire across the sky and 

Not everyone could appreciate

Beauty in the Storm.

Happy Birthday to My Heavenly Angel
