Analysis of Human Angels
As the trees grow tall and wide,
As the rivers meander side to side,
As the meadows inhale and creatures reside,
I remember the things that warm me inside.
As the birds flock and start to sing,
As the journey will always begin,
As human angels need not use their wings,
I remember the things that comfort within.
