Golden Ribbon

“ GOLDEN RIBBON ”
by Nanci (in song)

As I watched, I flew on the tip of a Golden Ribbon-
Stages of my life gave way to forgotten visions.

With the end of the ribbon trailing far behind-
We flew over the passing of time.

The ribbon would take a turn, giving view-
To changes of direction, I already knew.

We’d fly up and down, over and across-
The many people, and places in my thoughts.

* chorus
It was like riding on a magic carpet of liquid Light-
I felt loved, safe and secure, never uptight.

Then we entered a tunnel of Golden Light, to behold-
Dimly lit glimpses of my life to yet unfold.

I stepped back when we were through-
To see what was done, I hadn’t a clue.

But! There before me was the most beautiful present-
Adorned with a Golden Bow, it was magnificent.
________________
* chorus
I found understanding like a bird taking flight-
I am the Heavenly Gift that’s in my sight.

Throughout Life's Changes, I've been set free-
There's peace with my past, the Spirit lives in me.

The Golden Ribbon embraces my heart-
Now & Forever more, never to part.

Lord, if I live to be a hundred year, plus seven-
I'll give You thanks daily for this present from Heaven.

* Chorus: You're my Lord, You're my Dove
You're my Life, You're my Love.

Antecedent: Sick, going through a second divorce, moving to another state.
Wondering what was I doing? Was I going to be okay?
