Broken and frail
these old wings of mine
Mended together
time after time
Each and every fall
was real and it was felt
But get back up I did to
play the cards I was dealt
They say time heals
with each passing day...
I say they are wrong
The scars never go away
Lessons learned
sometimes it takes
more than one test,
to really get the lesson and
to become your best
Through each and every storm
there was always a light . .
Not once did I give up
I fought every fight
Repairing my wings
blow after blow
Telling myself ...
This one is over now
Its time to go
Never was I alone
although I questioned,
I had doubt...
Deep down inside,
I believed what life was all about
Giving and caring
even when it hurts to let go
I always did my part
for this is my gift..
to give.. then to go.
Healing all others
so that they may become whole
That's my purpose
That's my goal
This time its harder to just
pick up my wings and go
You see, this one I loved deeply
way deep down in my soul
Time to move on
So many others needing my help
Fly though I must
damn this pain is felt
In the midst of the pain
Is where the best lessons are taught,
Survivor I am
Quitter , im not
This is the end of which is
your new beginning
Fly away I must
for now you are winning
As I pick up my wings
all tattered and torn
I remember the good times
from the day I was born
So many people
chosen over time
I always kept it real
knowing they were not mine
It happened so fast
True love I was given
Now its too late
to enjoy the gift I was given
I will cherish what we shared
keep the memories in my heart
you made me love again
you mended my broken heart
I will forever remember
I will never forget
How much you mean to me
from the day we met
Now I know,
the healing was not just for you,
It was meant for me ...
All along you knew
Life without love
is not meant to be,
I know this now ,
God brought my king to me
To heal my wounds
with such tenderness and care
willing to teach me
what I needed to repair
Wings spread out..
tears rolling down my face
I know its not the end..
Another time. .
Another place..
written with love for the one
man that ...."took me there"
stood by me when all others failed;
my best friend; my king; my everything 💗
