Wings

If I had wings,
I would fly.
I would smile,
at the beauty this world holds.

If I had wings,
I would raise high above people’s expectations.
I would soar higher and higher,
every passing minute.

If I had wings,
I wouldn’t be afraid.
To express my joy,
or to express my sadness.

If I had wings,
I might have to leave.
But I’ll always hold on
and keep my loved ones close.

If I had wings,
I would stretch them big and far.
Making sure that everyone rejoiced,
and no one shred a tear.

If I had wings,
I would fly higher then ever.
But I would never leave them behind.
For I have found these wings because of them.

If I had wings,
I would protect them.
They made me who I am today
and these wings will keep us together.
Forever.
