And she learns to fly again

When an angel falls from heaven
Her wings are too weak to fly
So she lives a life on earth
touching lives as they pass by

She struggles through every battle
that is given to her on earth
She opens up her heart and soul
and truly proves her worth

She opens up the hearts of others
and helps them learn to grow
When you're touched by an angel
Believe me you will know

Yes, an angel's life on earth is hard
mending voids as her wings heal
'til she hears God's voice calling her
and no more pain can she feel

God calls all his angels back home
Sadly only He knows when...
the angel's time is done on earth
~ And She learns to fly again ~

Author notes

It's more my heart and head trying to understand something rather than a perfect poem. I wasn't concentrating on the flow when the words were pouring on the page. ummm...hope it is not too bad.

    Gorgeous!



    I am reading between lines here that you have been touched by an angelnwho has been called home. And so we must rejoice for the angel, and understand how bereft you must feel for the Angels touch, but you know when an angel touches you the touch neverr leaves, it's there to warm you all of your days. This is a beautiful write! HOODWINKED!

    A very sweet and tender write, sad and yet not. The flow is mostly well done with very few bumpy places. Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors. Hetohke'e *

    Perfection!

    Dear ellie when something is written from the heart, there can never be anything more perfect. You've left an imprint from your soul on the page for us all to read and enjoy. I am in awe of your abilities and strength.
    Thank you for touching my heart with this gem of tender awareness. And your thyme and meter was perfect whether you realized it or not

    Keep up the GREAT work!

    Great read, an inspiring poem.

    You don't need to write a poem first Ellie, all us young poets need is an eager mind and the know about rhyme . All adults need is the patience we kids seem to have *laugh*. Of course, this poem is brilliant and I love the ending in particular . I like how you used the title as your last line. The picture is really pretty! It's fantastic the angel sounds like a person, coming from heaven and doing good deeds to everyone and then God calls her home to Heaven and she gets to 'fly again'.
    I think this poem is one of the best I've ever read!

    Outstanding.

    Fantastic piece. Perfect in every way, the descriptions are sublime, your vocabulary is exquisite... And the story you tell is truly touching. You approach of the angel's life and feelings from her own perspective is incredibly imaginative and very realistic; I can tell you have a lot of empathy for people and understand them well. That's awesome, it's a gift, as well as your way of writing which is enchanting.
    I just read your author notes (hadn't seen them lol). What a coincidence, I wrote up there that it was a perfect poem! You honestly have a gift, and it works spontaneously?! Wow! Not too bad? You must be joking, it's great!
    Excellent piece!

    breathtakingly beautiful

    my sweet darling daughter. have i ever told you how brilliant and smart you are. your so young, yet your mind is so much greater and more intelligent than mine. you blow me away with every word you write. i am terribly sorry i have not been on ap in a while. i have been recently finding it terribly heard to write cuz i am so busy with school an so stressed with the drama that life throws at you. but know that i will always be dropping by to check on you and occasionally reading a poem. you will forever be my favorite poet on ap and i hope you know that. please forgive me for only writing one new poem. i know that is bad, but i am afraid i have lost my muse. it is no longer fit to print. i write nonsence stuff down on paper. none is worth reading. i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. and i love your work darling. dont you ever loose your muse. you are way to good to just let go of your brilliant work.

    this is really great! i loved it! not thinking about it (in my opinion) provides the best poems because it comes from the heart not the head and even if its not about yourself, your soul is speaking. lol i sound so weird but ah well. Well done little-hug its fabulous!

    Ellie I don't think you need to concentrate on anything when you write. You just sit at the computer and the beauty comes out all on its own. I find this touching and inspiring. Sounds to me like it's inspired by friends and relatives of yours who have passed on. Whatever the case, you've done a fine job. You don't have to be actually dead to be an angel either. Being angelic lives in our hearts when we're alive too. Well done, honey. Love you lots! Brian
