"You Bear Your Wings"

Written for a dear friend, the sister I never had. Who despite all the obstacles faced, always stands with her head high.

"You Bear Your Wings"

 

As a child, I skipped with you

Through the grass when the skies were blue

We laughed and played in jubilee

Anyone who looked could plainly see

 

The friendship bloom and then mature

Back then, there's nothing we couldn't endure

 

With Time, we too became a Mother's Love

As God Blessed us with bundels from above

Yet still, we continued to share our souls

As we nourised and played our maternal roles

 

But now, as time wisked like the wind behind us

We look back at it all, proud, wth no fuss

Know that you are a very special part of me

A friend, so deep , than any of the deepest seas

 

God gave you the wings that you proudly bear

To reach out, sharing your love, everywhere

You helped me see when darkness was near

And guided me out, without any fear

 

I wish now, though I hear your voice

That I could be with you, to hold you tight, that's my choice

And hold up your wings, when you're feeling down

Let nothing hinder you from anywhere around

 

Look in the mirror girl, see beyond those eyes

For the stregnth in you expands the skies

Your smile, your laughter, your tender words

Continues to uphold me, always unfolds

 

Fighting the obstacles that combat you now

Still giving, still loving, looking not for a bow

You are blessed now, as when the day you were born

The Lord looks down on you with with no means of a scorn

 

But with loving thoughts of his priceless child

Who spreads her wings along the miles

I am proud of you, my loving friend

And that indeed will never end

 

For even now as I shed a tear

You taught me love,  not to fear
