I'm in eager anticipation for Italian skies
the nature of the Italians
and what lies in their eyes.
how they take flight
and get by under the sun.
Can the light reflect from my sisters and brothers
to blind my mind's eye
of a dull way of life
that I've been seeing?
Cross-sea and distant dreaming
reach to me with an open
and uplifting hand,
may our flight take higher
and our love grow wider
to the glory of our Maker
and the strength of His bride.
