Fly On Broken Wing

   Fly On Broken Wing

(On a broken heart)

Michelle Jene Vaughn

2007

Inspired by the life story of Gwen Araujo

Dedicated to all that have died due to hate crime

 

 

 

 It doesn’t seam so long ago

 That you left in a breeze

Too soon

Yes I know

But sometimes that’s how it has to be

Sometimes you have to say goodbye

Sacrifice

Just to find your dream

And I will fly with you

 Yes on

Broken wing

 

 

 

And I will

Fly with you on broken wings

I’ll stand by you threw it all

And I will fly with you

On

Broken wing

I’ll lift my heart and carry our dreams

 And I will fly with you

Yes I will fly on broken wing

 

 

Oh it seams they

Didn’t know

 The beauty they seen

Never opened their eyes to see

 A heart full of dreams

Stronger that the one who cam and broke your wing

 Forever your love lives on

And I will fly with you

 Forever,

On and on

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I will

Fly with you on broken wings

I’ll stand by you threw it all

And I will fly with you

On

Broken wing

I’ll lift my heart and carry our dreams

 And I will fly with you

Yes  I will fly on broken wing

 

 

 

{Original Poetry Line}

*Where you and I*

*Have looked in the eyes of a stranger*

*I’m sorry my love you passed*

*Without missing the danger*

*Even stronger now it’s clear*

*We are sisters and friends*

*Our dreams forever still. *

 

 

And I will

Fly with you on broken wings

I’ll stand by you threw it all

And I will fly with you

On

Broken wing

I’ll lift my heart and carry our dreams

 And I will fly with you

Yes  I will fly on broken wing

This is a strong piece reflecting the love of a friend who was lost and is missed - A friend destroyed by the unworthy, the contemptable, the uncaring world who never will understand what they took from the world... A good write

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
