FOR THEM ....AND FOR US ALL
They tread here oh so briefly with their laurels on their head
Our pride and joy
Where in their presence linger our sun and stars
Their little fingers grasping, their little toes digging in
Day by day….at life
And they grow….tiny angel wings flapping
Flailing at the world around them…..until they calm
And learn to soar like eagles……
And we watch them…
Each mother’s heart…. each father’s baby girl
Taking on the world
Eyes once wide learn focus
Fears abandoned for their dreams
Adjusting halos that sometimes slip as they race forward
Toward a chosen path
Delighted to find that however fleeting….it is shared by others
And a band of angels comes together
On the wings of an eagle……
Wings wrapped around each other
Each one as important as the angel by their side
Encountering what they dared to dream
Hearts holding steadfast to one another
Catapulted by one pulse toward glory…..
Through their determination we shed our tears
On their strength we fly among them
Touching the limits of the sky we have longed for them
On the wings of our angels we soar like eagles…..
Still your heart and lift your voices….
Hold your tongue and steel your nerves
Their pink of youth’s grown bolder ….
Their blood’s now black and red
Close your eyes and recall your tiny angel….in your mind’s eye…
But only for awhile…
Then raise your chin and smile……..a Lady Eagle’s passing by…….
For them….and for us all……
