WANTED WINGS, by FRANCIA HOLLIDAY
First Line: If I could help myself to wings
Last Line: Earth again.
Subject(s): Birds
First Line: If I could help myself to wings
Last Line: Earth again.
Subject(s): Birds
If I could help myself to wings
And the joy of flying!
Learning in flight
The secret of returns. . . .
Then I should know
Why birds and other creatures
Who soar and reach heaven
Find need for touching
Earth again.
