Wires and wings and all the things that make angels fly,<\/span><\/p>\n

Magic wires unseen help generate lift to reach His sky,<\/span><\/p>\n

By His hand and through His grace youth becomes men,<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayers and faith will bring him home from war with no win,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A beating heart with exclamation points show his love is real,<\/span><\/p>\n

Gunshot wounds and grenades create too much pain to feel,<\/span><\/p>\n

Nighttime dreams of a girl back home bring tears into a man,<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayers for her through the beating heart of a sad serviceman,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An alarm clock ring wakes young men who age ten fold a day,<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019ll walk over the coals and through rats nests to find the way,<\/span><\/p>\n

Remembering a time that seems a million instead of just a year,<\/span><\/p>\n

Listening for mother\u2019s call to breakfast that he hopes to hear,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I drift away up high and away on a hammock of tied sheet,<\/span><\/p>\n

The bandana around my head taints me speech just a beat,<\/span><\/p>\n

Drive of Valley is far below next to Drive of Coble I can see,<\/span><\/p>\n

The drive of grown men pushing cattle to roam in the valley,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a beautiful place where vegetarian dinosaur roam free,<\/span><\/p>\n

No monstrosities roam here in my dreams belonging to me,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll share these dreams with the girl of long dark flowing hair,<\/span><\/p>\n

Someday, someday soon together we will soar without a care,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her hand in mine we see the sea as beautiful a sea as can be,<\/span><\/p>\n

A kiss placed right or correctly there, placed perfectly by she,<\/span><\/p>\n

Kisses of her give great lift as I fly high on borrowed angel wings,<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch me soar and watch me fly but listen as our group sings,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We look below at peaceful lights placed through the forest for joy,<\/span><\/p>\n

Campfire smoke crosses our path yet brings me the peace of a boy,<\/span><\/p>\n

As a boy I ran through smoke to enjoy the sensation of a barbecue,<\/span><\/p>\n

But in passed time the only sensation this man needs \u201cis loving you\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
