Jeanne Mcgee Poet Rhyme

Now My Wings Can Soar In the Sky

For years I was beaten far down
His words and face always a frown
And through it all I asked him why?
Now my wings can soar in the sky

He said he was sorry to me
But it was plain for all to see
The track of the tears I did cry
Now my wings can soar in the sky

He blamed me and my family
I know it was him, verily
No longer do I need to try
Now my wings can soar in the sky

It’s taken years to heal my wound
To see my life is full of boon
And finally, away I fly
Now my wings can soar in the sky

Andrea Dietrich July 10, 2019 at 3:08 PM good for you, Jeanne. Some men can be so cruel. It must take courage to finally leave. Jeanne Mcgee July 10, 2019 at 4:25 PM First, you even have to acknowledge it's happening...it took a couple of counselors to get me to see it. So glad to be free.
