Clipped Wings

\"I\'ll die if you leave me\"

She was the most needy

Never did protect me

But she clipped my broken wings

 

Always afraid outside harm would come to me

Even though she knew harm was a thing, daily

I wanted to leave and be so free

But she clipped my broken wings

 

I thought I\'d get married at 18, so

I could start a life away, though

it didn\'t last long, you know

As she tried to clip my healing wings

 

Newly married at 22, I was done

never to go back-thought I had won

A new life to embark on-I had a son

She can\'t touch my budding wings

 

She taught me about the Lord

By many she was adored

In heaven finds rich reward

Don\'t think she meant to clip my wings
