When I Wore The Clothes Of A Man
When I wore the swaddling of a baby
Innocence and wonder cradled me
Oblivious to the worlds great mysteries
When I wore the togs of a child
My world ever widened around me
As I liberated joy from my youth
When I wore the threads of a teen
It brought to light the fire within me
And my future blossomed before me
When I wore the dress of an adult
Responsibilities and life engulfed me
In a world that never seemed ready
When I wore the garments of an ancient
Quiet reflections on a near still pond
Spoke of an appreciation forgotten for awhile
When I wore the gown of a spirit
The heavens rejoiced with me
And carried me on to His next divine task
