Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

"leap of Faith"

There is a bird in the tree that's afraid to fly...
Maybe the road from birth to today was a cry...
Tattered wings on a angel that's scared to touch
and will only stay...
Maybe there never was a safety net when one was 
small and still learning her way...
If my hands can hold this little bird and show her
that most of the world can be kind...
She then can pull those wings away from her eyes
and see she is not blind...
Your covered heart is getting more scared as days 
pass and time drifts by...
You must take that leap and have faith that God's 
eyes will over see your ride...
So fly my dear bird and sing and dance, show the 
world you are more than a glance...


for M.G.
