Wings

I wish that I could give you wings

so that you could soar above this pain

to a higher realm and leave behind

the weariness and anguish of earth.



I wish that I could give you wings

freeing you to ascend the skies

gliding effortlessly above

the cares and reality of  this world.



And as the eagle, spread your wings

to climb in widening spirals the thermal winds

and gaze with wonder upon

the mountains and valleys of your life.



I wish that I could give you wings

giving with them, dauntless courage

enabling you to find your way

across the river  into Heaven

discovering their the grace and beauty

your life has been.
