 ~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" [This message has been edited by Aimster (04-18-2002 10:36 AM).] |

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 Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

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.
