Wings to Fly 

​

Once I had nothing

Wandering around aimlessly

Searching, but not finding

Living, but without breath

Seeing, but without sight

Hearing, but without listening

Thinking, but without thought

Speaking, but without words

Learning, but without skill

 

I searched and sought to find something,

but I found nothing;

 

I didn’t have the wings to fly.

 

Then grace illuminated the darkness

And awakened my soul.

The Father came

And breathed His breath of life within me.

 

 

The darkness banished and where there was nothing,

now there was something;

 

I could now see that all along

I had the wings to fly.

 

But I didn’t have the gift from above

to spread them out and take flight.

This gift

is the gift of love incarnated in those

He has placed in my life.

 

To guide me on this journey to the place of heaven above.

It is now through this gift of love

that has been given to me

that I am able to show others;

 

they too have the wings to fly.
