Wings

You grew wings, leaving me there

As I try to grasp my air

My heart and lungs beat with rhyme

But growing has taken it's time

You had wings beautiful and bright

As I stayed out of sight

On lonely days I cried in the night

Wishing for wings as bright as the light

I'm just a caterpillar

Short and small

But soon I grew wings

Showing them all
