Flight

I'd like to fly
outside of dreams
I'd take in sights
on gossamer wings

I'd float like a butterfly
to heaven and back
on windswept wings
height I'd not lack

If I could fly like
an eagle soars
I'd venture to places
never seen before

If wings were truly
my form of flight
I'd surely try with
all my might

To go to places 
that are torn 
and spread the word 
of love not war

If I could fly to
places bleak
I'd offer solace to 
all I meet

      IF
   ONLY
       I
   COULD
    FLY...
