Wings

To be happy 
on the rocky path 

To laugh 
at the painful times 

To keep moving 
when your feet stop working 

To run 
when you have no energy left 

To fly 
when there are no wings 

To reach the mountain 
with no water, gear, or air 

To talk 
when it seems nobody understands 

To live 
when all you have left is God 

To feel lifted 
upon God's wings 

There are wings after all 

not yours 
not mine 
but those of God
