Darling your wings
Need to be stretched.
Fly, rise like the phoenix.
Darling my heart,
Breaks for me, exalts for you.
Fly, soar to your dreams.
Darling the seed of our love,
Uprooted, replanted,
Needs to lie dormant.
Darling I'm not asking you to stay,
Just promise you'll return.

&quot;We&#039;ve all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it&#039;s more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.&quot;<br /> -Norman Vincent Peale
