God, She Has a Broken Wing.

God, she has a broken wing she can no longer fly,
little things in her life that do still make her cry.

And even with a broken wing her spirit still roams free,
I know she won,t give up the fight she,s much stronger then me.

At times she talks about her past and still it hurts her bad,
the whole time it just breaks my heart to know that she,s so sad.

There,s time I wish I could go back and take all her pain away,
I"d leave a smile to replace the tears she cries each day.

I"d put some joy back in her heart and take back all her fears,
I"d give her back the happiness that she has missed for years.


And last but least that she would know even with a broken wing,
don,t  really change the bird or stop it,s need to sing.


I wrote this poem and dedicate it to my sister Debbie 
who has cancer, I love you baby girl, Sissy
