BROKEN ANGEL WINGS
She watched the other angels soaring out over the heavens
Joyous in their flight, powerful wings lofting on spiritual currents
as they watched over their earthly charges with light and love
Guardian angels, each given someone to guide and protect
She tried not to be sad, for she was an angel, but a 2nd class angel
Her one wing was broken, and she could fly only in her dreams
She wept angel tears that fell with the sound of tiny beautiful bells
Their melody so wondrous and beautiful and yet so very lost and sad
Why wasn't her wing healed, heaven was where all things are possible
What was her purpose? She had so much love and light to share yet
And on earth, the woman looked up into the night sky with sad eyes
She had tried so hard to make it work, to make everything all right
Although there was love there, it was incomplete, distant, darkly demanding
Ever tugging at her being in ways she did not understand or want
Making her fell trapped in the middle of what was to be total true love
Never to be what she was meant to be, the longing in her forever unsatisfied
Walking through life, searching for herself, with her own special broken wing
Their eyes met. The angel on high and the earthly angel, and they knew
This was why they were both created, their very reason for their being
With a great shout of joy the other angels carried the little angel to earth
Two angels, one of the heavens, the other of earth, now one
The glow surrounding them both was like a brilliant sun
Grasping each other, two angels with one broken wing became whole
Soaring on high to the sound of mighty trumpets and gentle harps
Finding themselves and each other, becoming as they could never be alone
So it is with us, wondering what our purpose is and why we can't fly
For we are all but angels with one broken wing
And the only way we can fly is by embracing each other
Never let go of your dreams
I want to watch you........ fly
