Have you lost your way gentle bird? Have you tried to sing, only to find that your voice can't be heard? Is it harder than you thought? Are you having trouble finding the things for which you've sought? You wanted to be let go, to fly free To go out into the world on your own and see what you could see If was easy for a little while But after time it felt like a marathon flying alone mile after long mile Remember you are always welcome in my arms To hold and take care of you and keep you safe from all harm Continue to fly gentle bird, fly so high above I will be here waiting and watching ready to give you warmth and love --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven; Beautiful and so poetically lovely. Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

This shows the warmth and care of a boundless love and you put it forth with such a tender voice. I am sure she will come back knowing what she has before her. Wonderful read. |
