Greater things that come on wings

What would it be like to soar high on wings?

Passed the park, the school, the neighbor's yard,

Through the clouds, over the hills, to a place where I don't need to keep guard.

Those wings will lift me higher than I have ever been before,

Through the night, through the day, through the violence and gore.

Toward a freedom that I long to see.

On these wings, I will forever be.

I don't care what they may say.

They don't know what it's like, they don't see it my way.

Forever I'll go,

Through the late autumn leaves and snow.

Never shall I stop.

At least not until I reach the top.

If there ever comes a day when you are just trying to figure it all out.

Talk to a friend and let them know what it's all about.

Let them take you upon their wings. 

Because in this life you can only rely on yourself, your friends, and the love that friendship brings.

This is what I mean by multi-dimensional writing. The whole time I was reading, I was feeling several ideas develop from your words. You use bright vivid imagery that put me into the physicality of flying . . . then you seemed to be describing the trajectory of life in this flight . . . then I got a glimpse of God in your poem, just before I got to the part where this was all revealed to be a message about being lifted up by the wings of our friends. All these themes blended perfectly. Very inspirational, without sounding like you're TRYING to be inspirational (which I do not enjoy)! *smile* (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hmm, i like the concept of this a lot. its nice an inspirational, however there are a couple grammatically incorrect sentences here. Passed should be past. And I think in the sentence "If there ever comes a day when you are just trying to figure it all out" I think 'just' makes it a mouthful. you should take it out. Other than that, its nice. Toward should also be 'towards' nice! friendship love is the best!
