Flight

A coin toss, brothers look eagerly as they vie

   The dawn awaits the newest bird to take flight in the sky

   Silver wings above, God's handiwork meets the eye.

Daniel, Congratulations on your win in this contest. It is beautifully written and going into my fav's. A poem dear to my heart as I flew the big birds for so many many years as a stewardess (flight attendant). Aloha, Connie
