ANGELS WITHOUT WINGS (Words and Music by Hali Hammer)

 

Velvet kisses on my cheek and fuzzy kisses on my belly

Silly jokes that make us laugh for days

Funny things we do together, anything with you is special

We appreciate each other’s ways

 

You have been through oh so much with optimism quite amazing

Dancing, drawing, songs you write & sing

Beautiful to look upon & souls like sunshine greeting dawn

I love you so, my angels without wings

 

Daizha dear, when you were born I cut the cord, we formed a bond

You’re witty, clever, talented & wise

“Pick a subject,” you will say, a story song will come our way

You’re more unique than you can realize

 

And Khadejha, special one, with dimples that go on & on

Remarkable in everything you do

With your sweet imagination & your bright creative sparkle

Everyone is so amazed by you

 

I recall I called you angel, you said, “Then why can’t I fly?”

I said, “Then you would fly away from here –

You already glide so high that if you ever touched the sky

You’d soar away, and that I couldn’t bear.”

 

When I was young and not together, I surely didn’t know I’d ever

Change into the person that I am

But having learned from my mistakes, I feel I can give you some breaks

And always help you any way I can.

 

Things are in this world, my honeys, that count so much more than money

Wisdom health and humor, honor most

I’m so proud to gaze upon you, see your strength through my eye’s window

And to know that you have all of those

 

I’m so proud to gaze upon you, see your strength through my eye’s window

And to know that you have all of those.
