If I had wings

If I had wings

If I had wings

I’d want to fly

High up in the sky

To touch the heavens

To see your smile

Just one more time

To hear your voice

But even now

I close my eyes

I hear your voice

Your wisdom echoes

Deep within my mind

I see the smile

That could have launched

A thousand ships

But that chose

To birth and raise

Six children

How lucky we were

To have such a tender soul

To teach and guide us

Thank- you Mom

For everything and know

We miss you still.
