You Dont Need Wings To Fly

by oddi tea   Dec 20, 2008


When I was little
I used to sit under the sun
And wish that things could go back
To when things were fun

When my mom and my dad
Actually loved each other
Way back before
I was a teenage mother

But now that I think about it
Sitting under the sun
All the bad things in life
Doesn't need to make you run

Just look for the rainbow
On the other side of the field
Laden with snow capped tulips
That hatred always concealed

Look for the love
Deep inside your heart
For the sadness and pain
Will tear you apart

But most of all look around
And gaze up in the sky
Always know that you don't need wings
To get yourself up and fly.

    This poem has been beautifully written and it does give a good message that we do not need wings to fly.
    This poem tells me that even if we are surrounded by hardships we can live a happy life by looking at the bright side of everything.I love how you tell the readers that they need not run away from the bad things in life.We just need to look for the rainbow....search for the love around and within us.
    Very well written.keep penning.

    It should be don't instead of doesn't. :]

    The last few lines were pretty. It was a very simle poem, but it was happy, and nice. :] Five out of five.
