Amelia Earhart

She started off in Kansas Where dreamers often do But this child with mind on flight Never owned a pair of ruby shoes Spending days out in the fields Underneath the bluest skies Twirling round in circles Arms out open wide With nothing there to hold her down Nothing to cling to But the desire to take life higher Than the eager kite she flew ~Amelia Earhart~ A girl born to spread her wings With mind set to wonder She set her mind to stone Took all that life would hand her Never tossed the dog a bone Lived this side of the edge Of the yes I can Knew a woman could do most anything Attempted by a man Amelia still fly's to this day With gravity no longer in her way She dreamed high and touched the sky Leaving the world in her wake ~Amelia Earhart~ A girl born to spread her wings
