BROKEN ANGEL WINGS



by... Sharon L/w Brown



In a long gown of mud streaked white

Soiled by sin�s crimson stains,

Her frail spirit and weakened arms held forth

A pair of broken angel wings.



With her last bit of dignity and ceremony

She has humbly returned them home,

Sadly saying, �My Lord! They�ve been through much

While I called them my own.



This left wing once shielded my dying heart

Till it could recoup and mend,

And �oft this right wing has shielded my soul

From the glares and stones of man.



These blessed wings have carried me above dangers

To a calm beyond the clouds mighty storm,

They�ve taken the spirit of this modern day woman

Back to the innocence of her childhood farm.



They�ve been through battle after battle

Because of selfish ignorance attacking my life,

They have encircled me in warmth and love

When fleeting affections brought me strife.



But I am tired of their abuse!

See! Like me, they are bent and stained,

O! Sweet Lord and Savior

A fallen soul pleas mercy for her wings.



I come to lay them down to due honor

For I am no longer worthy to be the cause,

That such a precious gift from heaven

Should suffer any further loss.



I feel sad and defeated at their peril

That sin seems yet to reign,

O! Lord! I�ve tried to fly so high for You

But I�ve broken even these angel wings.�



Confession gave way to peace

At the Lord gently smiled, then cried,

�Oh troubled heart! It was for the sinner

That I once laid my own wings aside.



Into the depths of Hell I flew

Stripped of my powers and Saintly robes,

And you, like I, must overcome

That another �VICTORY� might be told.�



�Then I heard the bleating of a lamb

Saw the shadow of a Shepherd with his rod,

It seemed I heard the whispers of angels

Somehow, I felt the presence of God.



Red waters from a near by river rose to engulf me

Again, I clung to those outstretched wings,

�The Lord hath washed away your sins�

I thought I heard invisible voices sing.



A light before me grew bright then brighter

As sleep gave way to the dawn of morn,

And opening my eyes to that peaceful new day

I knew that somehow�



The wings of my spirit had been reborn��
