The bird with the broken wing

When I wrote this I was broken in every way possible. There was a girl I met that didn`t give up on me. This one is for her a very special lady.

Sweet lady you found me drowning in waters unknown

as I crossed the big pond so far from my home.

The fury that burns inside keeps showing

tears flooding out at times overflowing.

They took my heart and made a spade

the american dream I sought then paid.

Almost as if I sold all I had that was dear

to find my lost family and face all my fear.

Hating what i`ve become is causing me regret

my struggle to reincarnate is not over yet.

My love you have not seen the scars deep in my flesh

please give me a chance to take off my vest.

I pour and you drink now my blood spilled in war

thank you again and again my lady I adore.

Beautifully written declarations of love bring me absolute joy and when one is alone,
they can become such a vicarious experience.
The lonely reader is guided through what it's like to love the subject of the piece,
and it is always a pleasure.
True words from the heart.
Thanks for sharing!
