Wings

Wings
I am but a man
My wings are now tainted
Faded from life and the roads I have taken

Once shining like gold
In the sun they caught fire
Naive, Young and Pure, they burned with desire

The dreams of my heart
I wore on my sleeve
Faith, Hope and Love was all that I'd need

Yet with each dream I've followed
and each love I've chased
My heart has been carried to another new place

But I am not broken
Nor am I lost
For there is no bitterness in the paths i have crossed

My wings maybe tainted
But it is not with disdain
As forgiveness has washed away all the pain

No longer with fire
They glow with new light
Each stain a reminder to seek the courage to fight.
