Wings


When I was a little girl
I believed we all had wings
I would dream of flying
High upon the wind.

Our wings were invisible
And very small in size
But as we grew into ourselves
They would appear when we reached the skies.

But somewhere along the way
My wings became dark and singed
From all the times I touched the flames
Of some self-made hell I was in.

There seemed to be no hope
No dream to pull me out
I felt so very alone
No chance for turn-about.

I never intended
Or even meant to
Be the one
To disappoint You.

So when the heavens opened
And You spoke my name
You welcomed me anyway
And I went, without fear or shame.

Now in Your arms
I feel all the love
That when I was little
I always dreamed of.
