Striving for Wings

Striving for Wings

Posted by Erin Mansfield

Staring down the path already chosen
The consequences set in motion
Constantly watching for the moment
To turn around ones fortunes

So many have fallen and are forgotten
When trying to touch the sun above
Always striving for wings to take flight
Yet the skies are never free of storms
And not everything remains in sight

Then one rewinds through memories
Of both grand and simple slices of life
The amazing love for a child born
The warmth of a hand entwined in yours
Holding on a heartbeat and a breath
One must soar as far as they may go
