Clipped Wings And Rusty Armor
Years ago a man clipped her wings
And told her not to fly
So the little dove spent her days in dreams
Looking at the sky
As years went by, she soon forgot
What she’d been dreaming of
Her clipped wings and shattered hopes
Kept her from seeking love
A gentle Knight with feelings deep
And armor shinning bright
Was hurt by one that he loved so
And thus gave up the fight
The years went by and not to be hurt
His feelings he put on a shelf
Armor once bright began to rust
And he kept unto himself
The one day, the little dove
Met the rusty knight
He promised to help her learn how to fly
If she’d help him to fight
They shared their dreams, their hopes, their fears
Along with many other things
And soon the knights armor began to shine
And the dove she spread her wings
One day as they were walking along
Under the noonday light
The dove stretched out her healing wings
And took off in gentle flight
The knight he watched from down below
A smile across his face
As he watched her soar on open wings
A picture of perfect grace
The dove she turned around in flight
On that very day
She touched down gracefully upon the knight
And his armor fell away
The dreams that once belonged to two
They now share as one
For she flies on wings that once were clipped
And he fights dragons in the sun
A fairy tale of sorts is this
But one that has come true
For I found my happy ending
The day that I met you
