Wings of Belief

We were given wings Though their not seen Their right there Without us knowing Yet we are aware. Those unaware are grounded Others begin to notice They have a choice To take toward the sky. At first fear sweeps over Legs begin to quiver Heart begins to race Staring up into space. First step is always the hardest As I wonder if I can reach it To touch the cotton candy clouds Gaze upon the setting sun. Will I make it? I thought to myself Will I be able To make it up there Will this be a piece of cake? I have to try For me to fly Toward the sky I shall take flight. Spread my wings Swallow my fear Take a breath Time to take off. Wings begin to flap As I feel my body float Feet no longer touching dirt I was no longer on Earth. Slowly I open my eyes And to my surprise I was high above Endless sky surrounds me The land below was smaller. This must be what its like To feel so free and bold Once fear was discarded There was no more worry. With these wings So strong and beautiful There's nothing hold me back I'm free to fly where I please.
