He introduces me to grace and mercy
Reflections of a love unpracticed by me
Compassion and unconditional love
For one unknown to dance above
She has forever dealt with the devil
So for her daughter she won’t come level
Won’t admit to her numerous failings
Regardless of those fleeting feelings
He takes her old, frail hand
Tries to lead her to another land
The daughter shakes her head in disbelief
Wanting so much for her own release
She has waited so very long
Has yet to sing her own song
She fights the surge of betrayal
While he quietly remains loyal
They wish for the same dream
A quiet life with sweet cream
Until the old woman passes on and away
She holds their beautiful lives in her sway
He remains certain of happy dreams
Working as the anchor for their team
She provides the winding direction
Her heart no longer sure of the projection
The path has been uncertain of late
But he feels certain of good fate
He introduces me to grace and mercy
Reflections of a love unpracticed by me
He feels their hearts inside his own
He points the way to a better home
The Winged Woman 
It’s a lovely piece that drew me in and kept me invested in the outcome until the very end. I found myself sympathetic to the narrator’s cause (plight), and thought the entire work delivered a very significant message. Altogether, a very enjoyable read. You are a fine writer.

And I love your soaring-beyond-rhyme finishing correction, Sister, because “home” is indeed where the heart is.
David my Brother, thank you so much for lovingly connecting with this Dear One and supporting her.
All our souls are one. Sojourn here predicted my own [preparation for the last goodbye].
Most grateful for you both,
Leon
