And, there 

In the mists of my memory 

You shall always be.

“Angel Flying too close to the Ground”

Crystal Michelle Fallin

 If you had not have fallen

Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground

And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tryin' to keep your spirits up
And your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
My angel flying too close to the ground

Leave me if you need to, I will still remember
My angel flying too close to the ground

Song by Willie Nelson

Carried by Love

 

I made you, and I will care for you.

I will carry you along and save you.

Isaiah 46:4

She does not need wings to fly

 

She does not come 
With wings on her back,
She comes with fire in her soul
And strength in her spirit
She does not need wings to fly.

 Those we Love
