My Wing

​I never thought my heart could be broken into pieces

I never knew he level of anger oneself could reach

I've never felt so much pain running through my chest

The thought of you being gone is killing my soul

But I know your spirit has laid to rest

My umbrella in the rain, she was the picture to my frame

Beautiful angel in the sky

Can't wait to meet you there so we can fly beyond high

Always encouraged me to be my best at anything

If I ever was to cry, it was a shoulder she'd bring

My Wing

Guardian angel looking down on me

Beautiful black woman God placed upon thee

Body, soul and mind set free to positive energy

She breathes

Therefore I breathe and as I open my eyes now I see

That you never left me 

You'd never leave me

Hurt me nor deceive me

She is the air I breathe

That brightness in the sky

The breeze blowing through my window

A glorious ray in the sky

Always there to pick me up whenever I amy fall

Not only a loving grandmother but a friend I could call

My wing

Love,

H'Taeh Williams
