On Wings of Joy
May 25, 1999 – 15th Anniversary of Accident
by Vickie Baker

On wings of joy this day takes flight
Plays peek-a-boo with puff-ball clouds
Soars to heavenly heights
Dares to dance with angels

As evil’s deathgrip tightens
Satan’s finest hour
Feet restricted body restrained
My prayers aloft rise easily
Thoughts of God that glorify
Lift sagging spirits high

Fifteen seasons wheeling now
An instant in God’s eyes
a lifetime in mine
Working for the Master
He edits the script as He chooses
Laughter, surprises, setbacks, joy
Final draft -- an eternal bestseller
The end, I’m told, is out of this world!
Meanwhile as I run this race
I’m enjoying the ride
