ON HER WINGS

  

Not so long ago, the journey of life became hard and difficult.

a troubled mind made the waters seem too deep and stormy.

a weakened spirit made the hills feel steep and hard to climb.

a weary heart made the paths seem long and endless.

And the land of hope, joy and peace became distant and impossible to reach.

Then, that special person in your life took control of your journey,

with her kindness, her patience and her love. And like an Angel,

on her wings she guided you through the waters which gradually became shallow and calm

on her wings she carried you up through the hills and they became easier to climb

on her wings she took you along the paths and they were long and endless no more.

And now the land of hope, joy and peace, though still some distance away,

seems to be within reach again.

thanks for the encouragement

thanks for the encouragement Jayne. Yes I can see what you mean about the change in presentation. To be honest the poem has been de-personalised a bit. It is actually about myself and my wife helping me through a period of depression. take care, Tim

Hello Timbo and just to say this is a nice piece. I see you put alot of thought into this and like Jayne says maybe can make it shorter, only suggests here other then that it touched me in a way of years long ago once lived.
