(I may have posted this a while back, not really sure. But I'd like to dedicate it to Tyson...2 weeks and counting  )Clipped Wings and Rusty Armor Years ago, a man clipped her wings And told her not to fly So the dove spent all her days Looking at the sky As years went by, she soon forgot What she’d been dreaming of Her clipped wings and shattered hopes Kept her from seeking love A gentle Knight with feelings deep And armor shinning bright Was hurt by one that he loved so And thus gave up the fight As years went by, to not be hurt His feelings he put on a shelf Armor once bright began to rust And he kept unto himself Then one day the little dove Met the rusty knight He promised he'd help her to fly If she’d help him to fight They shared their dreams, their hopes, their fears Along with many other things Soon his armor began to shine And the dove, she spread her wings One day as they were walking Under the noonday light The dove stretched out her healing wings Took off in gentle flight The knight he gazed from down below A smile across his face He watched her soar on open wings The picture of perfect grace The dove she turned around in flight And on that very day Landed there upon the knight And his armor fell away The dreams that once belonged to two They now share as one She flies on wings that once were clipped He fights dragons in the sun A fairy tale of sorts is this But one that has come true For I found my happy ending dear The day that I met you ------------------ This is courage...to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ~Eurpides [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 10-20-1999).] |
