Broken Winged Angel
~*Marge Tindal~*

I'm just a broken winged angel,
trying so hard to forget.
Grounded and no longer flying,
cause I'm not over you yet.

I was flying high when I met you.
You billowed my wings with your song.
But, I didn't know you maintained two cages
and now you have left me alone.

Why is it when halos get tarnished,
sometimes they slip and they fall ?
Now to this broken winged angel,
yours has no shine left at all.

This heartbreaking tale isn't over,
but I'm writing a brand new ending.
Though your halo won't regain it's luster,
my wings will someday be mending.

I'll be flying high ~~
and it won't be solo ~~~

I love the way you can write about heart break then turn your frown upside down and
show that smile of yours.

Hugging you Marge...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Once upon a time there was a light in my life, now theres only love in the dark, There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

Imagine that Jesse...it gave me goosebumps when I read it
and I wondered if she wrote it for you.

Marge, this is so sad, yet it sends a wonderful message.
One will never forget, but will someday move on...
I so much enjoyed this piece

Paula~
As I e-mailed you this morning -
you may share my writing with anyone who needs it -
or wants it ...
for that is why I write.
Thank you, my friend.

ButterfliesDC~
I can only say a very sincere ~ Thank you.

INot2B~
I thank you for that comment.
I think sometimes that I write to send another's smile
on that very trip.  

Karilea~
*Hugging* you right back, sweetie.

Marsha~
Thank you, dearie.

Seymour~
Ain't that the truth, sweetheart.

JesseJaymz~
Sweetheart, maybe - just maybe -
this one had wings to fly your way.
And yes - you will not only soar again -
you will burst forth in song. *Hugs*

Irie~
Thank you, sweet lady.
And it just might have been Jesse's spirit
that brought this one to me.

Bonnie~
Thanks, my friend.
So gooooooood to see you.

MotherEarth~
Alright, gal ! !  
I sense that spirit in you !  

InterLoper~
Well, as heroes go ...

Perfect imagery Marge ... you've set the scene beautifully here to bring wonderfully vivid pictures to mind. I can see her soaring now ... just a little bandaid was all she needed, and these sweet words of inspiration from you!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

  I must say it was quite startling to see my user name up there at first... But once I blinked a few times, I appreciated what the poem says.. And you were very right.  I enjoyed this a lot...  *adds thread to library as I "speak"..*  Thankyou for bringing it to my attention.  Always,  Nicole

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.
