Sway Me Closer to Thee

Sway Me Closer to Thee

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Sway Me Closer to Thee

 

A feather floated on a breeze,

Swaying, yet driven with fearless ease.

As I sat and watched,

Higher and higher it launched.

 

A cool wind caused it to summersault,

And into an even higher plane it was caught.

I still watched, mesmerized,

As I followed it with my eyes.

 

I couldn’t help but to think

That if I dared to blink,

I’d lose sight

Of the lightest feather high in the sky.

 

Looking up, all I could see

Was a tiny speck of what it used to be.

I began to ponder where my life led,

And this thought filled my head…

 

Floating on the wind of God’s grace,

He carries me in His gentle way.

Drawing me nigh,

A feather am I.

 

Guide me, O God, into the higher plane

As I live for You along the journey paved.

Like a gentle breeze,

Sway me closer to Thee.
