Wings
October 2010 (9th grade)

I always wanted to fly,
but I could never find my wings.
I didn't feel worthy enough to claim the sky.
Then you came along.
You lifted me up.
When I fell down again,
you were there to raise me up again.
You opend my eyes to the clouds
and sang to me the song of the wind.
Let it take me away.
Your smile not only gave my heart wings,
but made my soul fly.
I felt selfless
and beautiful.
I didn't want to fly 
if you were still on the ground.
Together,
we flew over the birds
and hid from the sun.
It all just flowed.
You showed me what magic was
and flew me to heaven above.
Who would have thought,
you'd be the one
who taught me to soar?
You gave me my wings.
