To those who inspire me

Those with Wings

I see them all around,

the wings of angels,

the gleaming white feathers

of the heavenly ones around me.

They are my teachers,

my guides,

my mentors.

They are the ones who show me

how to truly be alive.

They gave me wings

and told me to fly.

They taught me to soar

and trust the winds to guide me.

They showed me true beauty

and let me know the meaning of peace.

They are the divine ones,

the trustworthy and friendly ones,

and those that always show they care.

They are the lovers,

the musicians,

the writers,

and the dreamers.

The best of friends,

the closest of family.

As we walk out into the light,

into what lies ahead,

we laugh

and we cry,

arm in arm we walk on

and those with wings

live forever more.
