What colors will my wings be, Lord,
When it is time to fly?
And will a sound of victory be heard
When from the cocoon I rise?
Oh Father, maybe yellow then
A pale and meekish hue
But mix a bit of vibrant pink
A favorite for me and You.
Perhaps I’ll be a royal glow
A purple princess well
It speaks of promises I heard
When You freed me from Hell.
Oh Lord!! I do love greens so dear
It reminds me of your throne
Encircled by an emerald glean
A holy and righteous bow.
Will my dear wings be feathered sweet
With softened, hands that tend
For many others need some help
A hug and kiss that mends.
And, Father, if orange I must be
A neon that beams ahead
To warn of dangers coming soon
Let it be as You have said.
There are some blues I carry dear
Next to my mended heart
But risen now are many blues
Of watercolor marks.
A blue of past pains and storms
That You did keep me near
That serve as memories of your love
When storms they poured with tears.
But oh so sweet a turquoise made
By living waters clean
That poured on me from head to toe
When You did baptize me.
It’s hard to now request from You
The perfect colored wings
So if Thou wills my heart to choose
I give thy choice to Thee.
For I must be uniquely marked
With colored stripes and streams
A butterfly of quilted patch
And multicolored wings.
