Soaring

One day I dreamed

that I could fly;

so I spread my wings

and reached for the sky.

But my mind stopped me

as it began to scream

"What right do you

dare have to dream?"

"You'll never be able to soar

my dear";

my wings suddenly froze,

paralyzed by fear.

"You won't be perfect,

you'll surely fail and fall.'

I retracted my wings

wondering why I dared at all.

But then a voice

inside my heart and soul

reminded me that FAITH in Him

determines how far I can go.

My eyes lit up with

hope once more;

with FAITH I spread my wings

and began to soar.
