So young
When you were thrown from your nest
Learning how to fly
It seems that after time
It was as though you were
Taking in breath.
But you'll have those setbacks
The wind and the weather
Predators
Take you
Down
Left with a broken wing
Learning once more
How to breathe
It's scary
It's sudden
And once again
New
No longer so trusting
Won't jump from the nest
The pavement's so close
Right now you can rest
One day you'll be ready
One day you can try
Again you'll be learning
It's okay to fly.
