Juan lived in Monroe, Washington.
Wings Against the Sun
Forever earthbound are my feet,
upon the rocky road ahead, but
high among the clouds, my
thoughts, and so my heart is
comforted. And if one shoulder
aches, I shift the burden to the
other side, remembering the times
I’ve laughed, and not the
ones in which I’ve cried. Too
short indeed these precious years,
to let a dream die needlessly.
Beyond tomorrow there awaits a
time and place designed for me.
And old hopes rising one by one
are golden wings against the sun!
