As we climb, high up into the sky
And looking out the window
Seeing the soft white clouds
I caught myself thinking out loud
A lady to my right,smiled with delight
I told her I was thinking of momma
And she said,”Dear that's alright,
I think of my sweet mother every day and night!"
As I look out again,being up so high
I knew right then...
God gave momma wings to fly
You see...
I asked God to please give her wings
So she could fly down
To protect us and keep us safe
Like she did all those years...
From harms way
As I close my eyes to rest
The sounds of the engins ringing in my ears
It takes away the fears
And brings back my childhood years
Mom, I remember you saying...
“Some day dear,you will be on your own
And won't always be under my wings”
No matter where...
I'll always feel your wings around me Momma
I want to thank you...
For all the hugs you gave
Sending us to our rooms
And teaching us right from wrong
And also momma...
For all the love you shared
One day,God will give me wings too
And I'll spread them wide
For all my loved ones too,someday !
