Roots and wings

If I had two wishes, I kwon what they would be
I'd I wish for roots to cling to, and wings to set me free;

roots of inner values, like rings within a tree, and wings of
independece to seek my destiny.

Roots to hold forever to keep me safe and strong,
to let me know you love me, when I've done something wrong

to show me by example, and help me to learn to choose'
to take those actions every day to win instead of lose

just be there when I need you, to tell me it's all alright'
To face my fear of falling when I test my wings in flight;

don't make my life too easy, it's beter I try'
And fail and get back up my self, so I can learn to fly.

If I had two wishes, and had were all I had,
And they could just be granted, by mom and Dad
I wouldn't ask for monay or any store-bought thing.

The greatest gifts I'd ask for are simple roots and wings
