I tried to spread my wings and fly <br />But I crashed into a wall <br />It seems like every time I try <br />I fail and then I fall <br /> <br />I tried to keep on moving <br />I tried to rise up from the ground <br />But something kept on pulling me <br />And throwing me back down. <br /> <br />My wings seem to be broken <br />Shattered beyond repair <br />But the moment I was giving up <br />I saw him standing there. <br /> <br />He looked at me and smiled <br />And my wings started to mend. <br />He said, “It’s okay if you stumble, <br />But you have to try again <br /> <br />He said to keep attempting <br />Despite of all these things. <br />I told him I was scared to fly <br />And he whispered, “I have wings.” <br /> <br />So once again, I rose back up <br />And started to let go <br />Of the things I was holding on to <br />And I slowly started to float. <br /> <br />He was flying right beside me <br />Making sure I didn’t fall <br />He was holding tightly on my hand <br />And not once let go at all. <br /> <br />I told him the sky was high enough <br />We would pass the limit soon. <br />He said, “Don’t say the sky’s the limit, <br />When there are footprints on the moon.” <br /> <br />The moment we started landing <br />He leaned over and gave me a kiss. <br />And his smile reassured me <br />That angels must exist.<br /><br />Crystal Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angels-must-exist/
