Broken wings

Babies are born with little wings.
Wings not visible by humans,
but visible nonetheless.

The wings need to grow.
They can take people to happiness.
They grow when love is strong
and when peace is all around.

Yet, most people's wings get broken.
Love is not always plentiful
and peace is often lacking.

People themselves are not always to blame.
They often grow up in hostile places.
Their families may be warm and caring,
but the world outside is harsh and cold.

Broken wings cannot take you far.
Yet, it is possible to mend them
and to make them grow and grow.

Giving love and spreading peace
to yourself, to others and to Nature
is the best remedy you can get
to build strong and large wings.

Wings to take you to happiness.
Wings to take you to a place
where only love and peace live.

Broken wings can become strong wings.
Carried by the wind of love,
they take you to heaven.
