Broken Wings

I long to fly

 

Into the sky

 

But broken wings

 

Disable me.

 

 

I long to play

 

But here I stay

 

Wheelchair bound

 

Still on the ground.

 

 

Look in my eyes,

 

These grey blue skies,

 

You’re soon to see

 

Past broken wings.

 

 

My body’s bound

 

But my soul roams round

 

The sky of my mind

 

Where you will find

 

 

Imagination abounds

 

My soul roams round

 

No chains for me

 

For here I’m free.

 

 

So, though I’m o'erlooked

 

And my wings are all crook’d,

 

There’s more to me,

 

I’ve  a soul with wings
