Wings

For a moment, let me speak

Listen to what someone once told me

I wish to share, what was said of wings…

 

Of wings being our life experiences

Of our past they are made from,

For lifting us in hope for the future

 

Isn’t that something?

That we can fly and soar because of our past

Because of that same past,

We can move forward

 

It is something I think is quite true

Wings lift us up when we’re down

Protect us from striking our foot on stones

 

The past also gives us comfort

Memories of love and hope and happiness

It also gives us strength

Memories what we’ve gone through

Gives us courage

Memories of taking chances and its rewards

 

This is just a little piece,

But it is something I wish to share

Please, do tell me your thoughts and views

Be welcomed to share and debate

On this random topic like wings

 

 

(Note: The reference was to Psalms 91, no offence meant to anyone

Stones in this context refers to obstacles and whatnot)

How true this is...God is our wings...and he helps us along our obstacles...and we need to remember the past for it may teach us in the future or present...without God our wings...we would stumble and fall...and would be fearful of the obstacles we meet...Great Job :)

Now this is so wonderful, so touching and well written, thanks for the reference at the bottom.

A very touching poem. You explore a lot of avenues of the subject! Personally, I really like the reference to Psalms, but I would take out the two lines that follow it. Don't apologize for your allusions; the apology takes away the charm of using the reference at all. Well done!
