A Bird Without Wings

Needing God's grace.

Like an ocean without a tide,

A word without a rhyme.

Like a sun without the shine,

Or a branch without a vine.

 

I desire You in my heart,

To ever be a vital part. 

For without Your grace in all things,

I’m a bird without wings.

 

Like a name without a face,

A hug without a warm embrace.

Like a river without a stream,

Or a life without a dream.

 

My soul cries out Your Name,

Who was sent to save

A sinner like me --

A bird without wings.

 

Like a rainbow without its colors,

A sky without wonder.

Like a heart without love,

Or a spirit without hope from above.

 

Because of Your mercy and grace,

I know my soul has a forever place

Where the angels sing.

And no longer will I be a bird without wings.

Very touching poem
The love of our life shows up somehow
A blessing from up above
And just like that we feel elated
We can fly
We always knew we would one day but often seeing our wings gone brought one such sadness
Until that perfect man showed up

Such a beautiful, bittersweet song... this painful now... and the endless joy of what awaits... such stark contrasts we live in and long for.
