You Give Me Wings

You give me wings to my wounded soul.
It does not matter how slow I go over this bridge of life.
I feel the love and the prayers for me.
I can heal this way, knowing you will stay until I can be on my own.

I know you know just how I feel to be a wounded butterfly.
I can laugh because you  know it hurts too much to cry.
Somehow the world goes on and it is settled in my mind.
You give me wings so I can fly, no matter how slow.

Author notes

This picture is so depicative of me right now. I have some dear friends who helped me through a very painful surgery. There were there to lift me up because my surgery became major when the doctors discovered a staple lodged in my bowel. Both of my lungs collapsed and I am on oxygen and will be until I am one hundred percent. Plus we are having to file for bankruptcy as I was laid off. They say I will have to go on full disability.

A contest entry

To love one enough to be there through the pain.

    beautiful poem

    You have expressed your emotions so well in this poem. It goes perfectly with the picture that you chose.
    These two lines tell us so much:

    "I know you know just how I feel to be a wounded butterfly.
    I can laugh because you know it hurts too much to cry."

    I pray that you will get stronger every day.

    Thinking of you Judy

    Lost track of your progress but hope all is progressing well. Sounds like it can not get worse.
    A staple in the bowle sounds like a lawsuit though.

    Please take care and know my prayers are with you my old friend. There is still much for you to write before crossing that bridge.
