Winds of This Day
As days go by and I sit in my nest,
I look up and wonder will I join the rest.
They spread their wings and soar thru the air,
With grace and strength not even a care.
I watch and I learn as each day goes by,
I watch every move with a discerning eye.
The lessons taught are future needs,
The lessons taught are great indeed.
Each day I practice and prepare my way,
For I know deep down I will face that day.
The time will come when I leave this nest,
The time will come when I join the rest.
The day has arrived and I step to the side,
It’s hard to describe the feelings inside.
I want to stay in this nest so secure,
But I know that this step I will endure.
I spread my wings and take a deep breath,
I remember the lessons taught in great depth.
I flap my wings and start to climb,
I now can see that this is my time.
As I soar on the winds of this day,
I look back at my life in every way.
I know in my heart that I’ve done my best,
This day is the day that I join the rest.
