Like a guide through a thorny forest when you have hit rock bottom, my friend and are fighting a raging battle take my hand . . . (oh yes, oh yes) When you are tired and feeling lost and your tears are flowing and you are in a frozen land and all your friends have fled oh yes, take my hand Like a guide through a thorny forest when you have hit rock bottom, my friend and are fighting a raging battle take my hand . . . (oh yes, oh yes) I will be right there beside you I will be your wings so you can fly I will hold your burden When your head is full of echoes and you hang your head and ghosts fill your nights I will be your friend always oh yes, just take my hand When your life is uncertain and you are full of broken dreams and have no direction no up or down Like a guide through a thorny forest when you have hit rock bottom, my friend and you are fighting a raging battle take my hand . . . (oh yes, oh yes) I will be your wings I will hold your head up high and in the sun you will shine and your thorny forest will become enchanted oh yes, just take my hand, friend I will be your wings, I will be your wings, wings, wings . . . ____________________________ October 7, 2017 Lyric/I Will Be Your Wings Copyright Protected, ID 947595 Written for the contest, Bridge Over Troubled Water sponsor, John Hamilton Fourth Place

Like a guardian angel, Broken Wings, your write is angelic and comforting! Exquisitely penned with stunning lines of lovely and loving imagery, your poem is as powerful as it is spiritual and beautiful. I just want to draw your attention to a small typo; on line 15: 'I will be' - ....Your poem is gorgeous. Good luck in the contest!
