If I Had Wings Poem by Juan Olivarez

If I had wings on which to fly,
Up in the clear blue sky,
I'd fly so far and fly so high,
Where no human eyes could ever pry.

If I had wings on which to fly,
I'd fly though clouds with rain.
And wash away sorrows and lies,
And wash away the pain.

If I had wings on which to fly,
High in the atmosphere,
Where I could hear the Eagles cry,
My heart would know no fear.

If I had wings on which to fly,
I would be without word.
And not a tear would my eyes cry,
I'd be so close to my Lord.
