~Broken Sparrow~

All my life I've attracted the broken bird
You're so wonderful is all I've ever heard
They hold my heart and I theirs for a second in time
At the moment it all seems so devine

I've searched within the depths of me
For the answers to the questions I ponder endlessly
What is it about me, that they feel so close to
I'm told it's in my personality and the things I do

Seems to me though, it's mostly unfair
For I break their hearts, and all they do is care
They fall in love with me, it's hard to put in thought
But this is a battle I've for most of my life fought

The broken sparrow, breaks its wing and flies to me
I am there for them, because in them parts of me I guess I see
I try to heal them the best I can
But it's I whose left lost in the quick sand

A part of my heart and soul dies each day
I know I'm the one who has to change my way
Sometimes late at night, my heart softly weeps
As the rest of my broken spirit gently sleeps

In moments inside my mind, I try to figure it all out
My heart says to carry on, my head just begins to shout
No one knows the depths of pain I sometimes carry inside
I wear a smile for the world, the rest I tuck away and hide

I'm told I'm a healer, and that this has been chosen for me
However, I didn't get to choose, and yet it seems this is what's meant to be
How do I help them, and still save my strength and grace
When will I be the one that's allowed to fly to another place

Broken sparrows, they just seem to reach out and grab my soul
Expecting me somehow to help make them whole
When all is said and done, and I'm left with just the cold of night
I wonder how many times this will happen, before I lose the fight

Broken sparrows, could you please just find another soul to love
As I seek some peace and rest from the clouds above
I need a rock, a hand I can hold
To feel my own wings healed, to be warmed by the cold

I turn to my friend, the one whose always there
She is my Angel, always there to care
I know I break her heart, when I get hurt like I do
Partially because in me she sees her reflection too

So I lift my own wings once more to fly
From these broken sparrows I must say goodbye
I will mend my own heart, and begin once again
All the while near and loved by my Angel friend


    



"you can't stop
the rain
from pouring down
can't stop the
world from turning 'round
can't stop me from
loving you
no matter
what you do"

Amy darling lil sis of my heart this is simply exquisite, I love the flow of this darling girl it is so full of aching and pain filled sadness.

This writing is so full of emotion it throbs through it, you’ve painted a picture of the healer mending the broken sparrows perfectly. This is the reason you are a writer darling heart. YOU can describe this situation so well so well.

Wonderful darling heart utterly utterly wonderful. You’ve always been good, actually you’ve always been pretty near perfect, but now you’re outstandingly superb. Beautiful darling heart sister really beautiful writing on a subject that some may find very difficult to comprehend, I however know this scenario very well.

Wonderful writing perfectly presented


Love and warm stuff
As always

Golden voice

"The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
NIV Luke 1:28

Life can be so cold and narrow
For a lonely broken sparrow
For the sky calls come to me
Come fly over land and sea.

But it is so hard to sing
With a wobbly broken wing
O God please hear my prayer
Mend my wings and take me there.

To the stars where angels sing
Let me soar as new bells ring
And hold their hands as we rejoice
With new wings in golden voice.

Golden voice.
