She dreamed of flying
But she does not have wings to fly.
She will fly and she will be gone
From this world full of suffering.
She closed her eyes,
Wishing when she opens it
Wings will be flapping behind.
To her disappointment – still none.
“Why can’t human be an angel?”
She began to ask herself.
Tears then stream from her eyes.
She’s tired of all the challenges
That comes along her way.
She’s looking for a temporary escape
A refuge from life’s raging storms
Her shoulders already heavy of burden
Though she’s only eighteen
She asked God, “Why is life so unfair?”
Endless sobs come next
And a repetition of her why’s.
Then she fell into state of unconsciousness
Still dreaming she has wings.
The soft breeze touching her face,
Wake her up and then she realized...
She’s aloft, cradled like a baby
On an angels wing’s she’s flying...
She found joy and serenity.
