Roots and Wings

"It shouldn't surprise you that roots make you feel free
You've been wandering almost your whole life
Looking for a safe place, a home
Even as a child you searched
Hunted by those who should have protected you
In danger even in a place of sanctuary
You started out running from and ended up running to
Creating first a silent and peaceful place alone
And then finding a partner who sought the same
You built a sanctuary
What you wish you had had as a child

I love you
And know that I've been watching you
with this struggle
I was the wings that comforted you
in the dark and despair
I held you when there was no one else
And I am happy that you are happy

Now you can begin your work."
