on the wings
Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)
in life there is but one
in a lifetime some may never find
one who will woo you
one who will choose you
one who gave you a whole world
set in a mold ,like a shell
she cracked , nurtured ,molded
and gave you wings
taught you how to fly
gave you your life again
threw the silky sky
till the end
when she gave you your wings
