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.
