Question: Can you always mend "Broken Wings"!?
Broken Wings

From life's window
I watched a bird
grow and leave the nest
he flew around
to discover world
has one law: survival
of the fittest
cruel injuries brought
him back to me
broken wings
I tried to mend
while cupped in hand
he looked at me
cried, "Mom, I want it
to be over,
please, I'm too weak
to survive
you may succeed
in mending me
but I tell you this
if I take flight
one more time
it will be
my last one to hell!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a sad and beautiful poem!.

Ma, you are really writing some great stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you can mend the wings!.!.!.!.but at some point the bird must learn how to survive!. Whether it be to alter the flight pattern to avoid further injury or to avoid flight except when necessary, at some point the bird must use its own survival instinct!.

The best stuff always comes from strong emotions!.!.!.!.sometimes from those emotions we don't even want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ma the hardest thing a parent can do is watch their child leave the nest and know that they will have to fall down a few times and learn how to get themselves back up, You can mend the wing but only in the way to prepare them for flight again!.

This is so strong and filled with such powerful pathos that is makes me wonder if all of the best stuff really does come from pain!. You are such a loving and devoted mother, certainly the power in this will prove to be as healing as anything can be!. You are wonderful!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

With a broken wing,it wouldn't have made it back to you!. It would have fluttered around on the ground and become dinner for a fox!. See!? Even when broken we fulfill a use!. Good,how this nature stuff all fits so nicely,isn't it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because pain is the one thing we all understand completely!. This, dear ma, is an epic!. The emotions, the sadness, broader than oceans, the longing of the little bird, a beautiful metaphor!.!.!.you've moved me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This one pulls hard on my heart strings, for it is not always possible to mend broken wings to the point that they will work again!. In that case, it is imperative to then stay earthbound!. HugglesWww@QuestionHome@Com

Pain always brings clarity to words!. Love will do the same especially a Mother's unconditional love!. Your words speak and speak well in this offering!. My compliments!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
