Icarus

Go
Son
Take flight
Icarus~
Be daring be brave
But most of all be vigilant
Unfurl your wings fan out and soar to independence
Navigate your odyssey with perseverance~ go forth and don't look back, Icarus

Icarus, son of Daedalus. Icarus dared to fly too close to the sun, with feathers made of wax. The sun melted the wax and the feathers came loose and Icarus plummeted to his death into the ocean. What a wonderful verse. Love it! Hugs, Jennifer.

I pictured Daedalus sending off his son with fatherly words of wisdom...
