Broken Wings
Like a butterfly
with broken wings,
he’s discouraged from
so many things.
They look down upon him
with sympathy;
they look at him and doubt.
He spreads his wings despite the challenge;
he continues to try.
Though his wings are different,
in his own unique way, he will learn to fly.
This boy’s a butterfly with broken wings,
but he’s capable of so many things.
