If I Could Fly An old worn door stays shut no one knocks or rings anymore a peephole to the outside world seldom see's the eye Alone in a chair by a window she peers through a curtain of lace while children play in a nearby field she strains to see with squinted eyes A robin sits on the window sill eyeing a worm as he inches by at her soft crys, he flys If only I could fly ... I would fly to that field run like the wind, to chase a balloon lay in the grass, to watch the clouds as they turn to puppy dogs, with tails and the man in the moon, as he smiles If only I could fly ...

I just don't have the words to say how much this touched me, you penned the feelings so very well and the parts of my heart this touched are ones that I don't look at very often....absolutely exquisite writing~ |

If I was granted a wish ... It would be that we could all fly ...to our dreams ... even if only for a day and a night ... Imagine the magic that would adorn these pages Wonderfully written thankyou for sharing it with us ![]() |

Soar in your heart to that field Race among the breezes kicking dust No more doors in which to shield Go fly my rose...to do it is a must Beautiful write and full of saddened dreams |
