Wings that do not fly

You may have a fear of falling

But I have a fear of flying

A fear of flying high and soaring

Far beyond where I have ever been

You may jiggle my wings

And tell me to try

You may make taunt me or grow angry

Or maybe even cry

I understand your reasons, because I see you way up there.

I view you with my eyes shut,

Dancing among the cotton clouds

Waiting on me to join you,

 Amongst the blue skies that only heaven allows.

But my fear keeps me grounded, properly anchored to the floor

I cannot find the ability; I do not need to soar.

My wings are not needed to be viewed from up above.

I am perfectly content, being just the one you love.

For my flying is done, when you are by my side,

And my fear is gone, when you hold me in your arms.
