Everything But Wings

She sings hymths when songs get old Telling secrets of things untold Holding on where I lose my grip Standing firm where others slip In her arms there are no tears Within each breath there are many prayers A prayer of thoughts to forget me never A prayer of hope to stay together She cast no blame where others do She keeps no tally of things not true She sees the end when my path seems blocked She steps in line when others mock She embraces my wrong and cast no blame When others left she ran an came She chose to watch while I was asleep She held me back when I thought I should leap She took all my wrongs and buried them deep Hiding those things that others keep She’s perfect in sight with all that she brings She is my angel; with Everything But Wings.
