Flying
I spread my wings and try to fly.
I spread my wings and try to take off in the wind.
I try a lift off but I fall right to the ground
again.
I try to fly. . .
But. . .
my wings are clipped
I’m falling. . .
circling and falling. . .
I could almost touch the sky!
But I can’t
I tell myself, never give up.
I tell myself to always get up
again.
I try to spread my wings!
there clipped and once again
I’m falling.
Will ever quit falling?
I stand up and face the wind. . .
again. . .
never going to quit.
going to keep at it. . .
I spread my wings
I’m flying. . .
Oh my gosh!
I’m flying! I’m actually flying!
Wind in my hair, birds everywhere!
And I smile to the sun set and fly. . .
fly. . . away. . .

"Books are a uniquely portable magic." - Stephen King<br /> <br /> I love books, and I love technology, but I don't want to see the latter overwhelm the former. I just think books are meant to be pages you turn, not screens you scroll through.
