IF I had wings 14/11/08

If I had wings I would fly If I had a heart I know I could cry With my bones crushed and broken Always an honest word spoken My word is my bond If only I had a magic wand I would take us back in time Back to where my life was mine To a place where I experienced no fear No second thought to shed a tear If I had wings I’d glide so high in the wild blue sky Never allowing life to pass me by Just drifting and hovering on the thermal breeze Enjoying the luxury of safety and feeling at ease If I grew wings I could fly to my dreams The wind in my ears drowning out my screams My long powerful wings breaking the chain So that my lost dreams could not be stolen again I dream I can fly to a much safer tomorrow Living each day in serenity with no more feelings of sorrow I long to be free soaring in the uplifting winds Feeling the wind beneath my sound wings Wouldn’t it be invigorating to feel weightlessness? With absolutely no burden or ache of stress Air pockets lifting me to heights I only dream of Resting in the soft creamy clouds above If I could fly I would shield my son under my wing Allowing my gorgeous boy to prosper and sing If I had wings eluding the predator I’d escape So he couldn’t even see my silhouette shape One day soon I trust I will fly From this day till then strength and tenacity I shall apply **Copyrights reserved
