She Can Fly

Through a broken window
she follows her dream;
but the shattered glass reflects
demise and defeat.

Blinded by the remnants
of what the future held;
The brilliant rays of hope
were quickly expelled.

In a desperate attempt
she believes she can fly;
as she climbs on the edge
of what once was her life.

Scarred now are the soles
of both her battered feet;
And she raises her arms
as if in self defeat.

She stares into the heavens
as the tears fill her eyes;
She pleads to her God
for one more last time.

"I'm not giving up Lord!
I've not lost the fight yet.
I just wanted you to know
I have not one regret!"

"Though my life has been hard
and there were tribulations,
through You I found hope,
in You I have salvation."

On the wings of a dove
she is carried in flight
and brought back to rest
on her pillow that night.

Her dreams were only dreams
and her window, no longer broken.
She'll continue her life
with her eyes wide open.
