Spirit of Flight

See the flight of a Hummingbird,
wings to fast to see.
Hovering almost weightlessly,
for the nectar of the tree.

See the flight of Eagles,
riding thermals,so very high.
Searching for the evening meal
I love to hear them cry.

See the flight of dragonflies,
they're here and then they're there.
The colors of the rainbow,
floating in the air.

See the flight of the Osprey,
circling the sea.
To catch himself a tasty fish,
to feed his family.

See the flight of Human Spirit,
no limit how high we'll go.
The power that drives our human wings,
comes from deep within our soul.
