Wings
April 29, 2011
I remember the day
Childhood came
Singing songs of life
The greatest kind of all
It brought play dough
Coloring books
It even brought my favorite dolls
And a brand new smile
It came on wings
Of every color
Rose with the wind
As it flew
Sent from God
My childhood
A gift I never
Thought would die
But then one day
Its wings were torn
And childhood
Could fly no more
I sat and wept
For what was lost
And said hello
To a new life
Adulthood came
On bigger wings
Carrying more
Than I could handle
And so this lesson
Stays with me still
When childhood comes
Don't let it pass you by
