Watching The Clouds

I love it when my head flies high,
My soul sores and my feet leave the ground,
When the sky is blue and the clouds are white,
Just lying there,
Looking up at the clouds,
Wishing I was somewhere else,
Watching the clouds change shape,
Looking at the pictures of the sky,
Waiting for day to turn to night,
Waiting for the stars to shine…down on me,
But for now I will watch these clouds,
Watch the day go by and keep that sparkle in my eyes,
Because if I keep it there,
One day the love I hold,
I will be able to share,
With him.
