She was told she could only dream,
And never fly away.
She was an angel amoung her master,
And the sun, who came by day.

Her master warned her about the wings.
They were gifts to be used in the winter.
"You must never use them to fly away.
Heaven is were you belong, you must stay."

The little angel knew she was told right,
And dream of Heaven, Earth, and night.
She dreamed, she dreamed.
And she dreamed some more.

Until her feathers began to fall galor.

She ran up to her master,
That fateful day,
Showing her discarted feathers,
And they watched them fly away.

The master smiled and spoke clearly and calm,
" Like my son of Earth, child,
You have used your wings to fly away."

The little child angel cry out in despair,
" I have never used my wings,
Only for the Christmas air!"

The mighty master understood and took a feather in his hands,
Moving it softly down one finger to the other,
He said calmly," You are like no other,
Dear Child Angel."
  
He looked at her with great care and hast,
" You used your wings to dream away the taste,
Of Heaven and death, and destruction and pain,
So you wouldn't go insane."

The little child, but 5 or 6,
Understood little of this.
" How could I use my wings in dreams?
If I can't dance or sing?
Is this something that is not what it seems?"

Nodding, the master placed the feather in his hair,
" Child, you must give your wings back to the air.
You used them up, like I said.
But I will give you one more chance instead."

The child laughed and shouted with glee,
" My master gave my wings back to me!"

She dance and sang, and played a tune or two.
But midnight came, and Her mother sang so true;
  
" Do not use your wings to dream,
They will only slip away it seems.
Childern have wings of their own.
But parents strip the wings ,unknown.

They tell the kids, " That's hard to do.
And only grownups like us can reach,
You're too young to teach."
Please don't crush a child's dreams,
  They have to use their wings,
     And you have to watch the feathers slip away.
Never to let the child play.
