LORD, Flyers are different from other mortals,
your love for us flyers is what we ask.
We fly in the cold dark air before dawn,
viewing these as acts of pleasure not a
task,
To feel motionless high above the earth
and capture a sunrise against a peaceful
sea.
These vivid memories and sanctity of flight
are all wondrous gifts by Thee. To see a rainbow in a cloud that refracts a circle
’round the shadow of my plane.
To listen to the drone of the engines
as they power my craft to their own refrain.
To guide my plane with gentile response
as I turn toward distant shore.
I thank you for these pleasures of flight
and your safekeeping evermore. Together with my friends we humbly seek
to share the wonders of the skies.
For we have touched the face of G_d
and have witnessed the compassion in his
eyes.
We who fly thank you for your serenity
and for securing our heavenly goals.
We pray, bless our keeping as we carry
our love of flight in our souls.
Amen
