Loving you has been a life changing,
Mind expanding and heart shaping experience,
That allowed me to cast off the shackles
Of lost years that kept me earthbound.
You gave me your wings so that I could
Chase the dreams born of our sweet love-
Dreams that were fueled with the adrenaline
Pumped from a heart just learning to fly.
Your love took me to new heights-
Heights never before known or attained,
That allowed me to see into your
Beautiful undiscovered country.
Where your eyes were the stars
That I used to chart my way to you,
And your radiant smile was the sun
That lit my path even in the darkest hour.
I will always be grateful for your love
And the use of your beautiful angel wings,
For without them I would have never known
The beauty and light that existed in this world.
I must return your wings to you now-
For no angel should be left earthbound,
And I know that every time I hear the flutter of wings-
That you loved me enough to give me yours.
Thirty years ago, I hired an angel to work for me and my great need to remain independent. She quickly shed all thoughts of flying away and gave me her wings. Now she yearns to fly away while she still can, but finds that she is still here, her wings clipped until I am gone because she allows me so much, she can't let go and have me suffer without help. I long to give her back her wings and set her free. If I can, I will. Then she can fly back anytime she wants just to make sure that I'm being cared for well.
