Unexpected Situation

Little girl you look so scared Mummy's gone you must grow on your own Just because your wings have been cut Doesn't mean you can't fly Oh little angel The tears in your eyes Tell me a thousand stories but not a thousand lies Breathing like your dying But I know you've never felt so alive Please I want to see you smile But I don't want to be left alone to cry Precious you sit and look so vacant Your stares intent could freeze time The wind swept away your hair And left your soul to bear Oh how I could get lost in your eyes They tell me a thousand stories Some I wish were little white lies Inhale the fresh air around you This makes uncomfortable sense for you But what scares me the most Is it makes the most sense for me too The door has swung I can see it closing But I don't totally mind The lock can be opened It can be swung again Oh little angel I want to see you fly Not on the cliff far away But in my arms soaring high We'll share a thousand stories Who cares if they're lies My breath is growing shorter But you make me feel so alive I'd give up anything to see you smile There's not a day with you you'll see me cry

Ur words are powerful, they fix an imaginary and potent wing for the little angle to regain her flying prowess... Great!
