If Only

On My Father's Wings

15 - On My Father's Wings

I pulled away. For a second I was able time forget the world and enter an emotin with just the both of us.

"Sing, " I whisper. "You have to."

Her eyes wide and frightened about entering a world of the unknown, she nodded.

"I will,"

"And finally we have Hannah Meadows," said the organisor.

And she made her way up to the stage. An empty stage, with no microphone. Just her and her voice.

I see her mouth mutter something, a message for her father and she takes a deep breath before opening her mouth and singing.

If you were with me now

I'd find myself in you

If you were with me now

You're the only one who knew

All the things we planned to do

I want to live my life

The way you said I would

With courage as my light

And fighting for what's right like you made me believe I could

And I will fly on my father's wings

To places I have never been

There is so much I've never seen

And I can feel

His heartbeat still

I will do great things

on my father's wings.

Her voice was a terrifying twirl of a child's voice with the power of an adult blast. She felt the words, the emotion, stunning everyone into a silence.

I knew she could sing, but not this well.

She was truly a star, someone who deserved much more than me. And I felt proud that it was my kiss that opened her ceiling so that she could fly into the sky.
