Poem recited in the final farewell at WOW 2014

I thought I saw my god up there
Through a gap in the clouds of a storm.
And I thought I touched my god up there
On my own, in the haze of the dawn

I thought I heard my god up there
Through the song of the engine’s bawl
And I thought I felt my god up there
Through the pull of  the bank and the roll

I think Ill meet my god up there
When my bonds to this earth are through
And I think eternity calls up there
Just where the clouds give way to the blue.
