Wings
by Tony WhitakerSo now our Ashley
large with child
she worries about weight
still smiles
she hates the way
her ankles feel
wondering will ever
they hold appeal
This pales to what
so soon will come
when he looks
into your eyes
and arms open wide
he says
Ma - Ma
all at once
feel so light
as he smiles
with tiny eyes
so bright because
the wings of an angel
we see
are the wings of an angel
he sees
