Work in progress

I wrote this one after doing some star gazing last week. It's not finished yet but here's what I've got so far.

Stop looking down child,
From where you are – 5 foot 6 above the ground
And all you can see
Is yourself
And the bumps in the road ahead.

Stop looking down child,
But turn your gaze heavenward,
Turn your face to the One who gives you life,
And the One who knows your path.

Stop looking down child,
Placing yourself as the head of your life
But remember
I AM

Stop looking down child,
And remember that acquiring riches
Is like grasping for the wind
But I am your solid rock.

Stop looking down child,
Let the light of the stars kiss your cheeks,
Let my strong hands guide your feet,
And let the wind of my spirit blow through your life.

Stop looking down child,
Look intently to me,
Let the clouds that block the stars always remind you
That I am your strength.
These clouds too will pass,
But I will stay the same.
