A friend of mine at the age of 15, wrote poetry as a way of dealing with her grief from her grandfather passing away. A few years ago she was taken from us in a fatal accident, on that night her family came home to discover this poem she wrote lying next to her bed. I had recently came back upon it and it still gives me some great insight in time so I thought it would share it with you.

To Soar:

I envy the birds,
For with wings they take flight.
Fly away father than any kite.
On agile wings birds take to the sky.

But not I.
Not now or ever.
I can only stay and gaze,
At their freedom of flight,
Their dance of the sky.

But if I were,
Where would I go?

How far would I climb?
What adventures would be mine?
To distant mountains misty tops,
or back yard swings.

Would I dance and soar,
Among orchads gleam,
Of dew kissed berries
And sunbathed grapes.

And what if then,
Would I envy the trees?
For planted they would stay.
Would I long for boundaries?
And hope for that day?
Would my dance be meaningless?
And my song empty?

I guess I'll stay and only gaze
Ill keep my heart rooted deep
and only let my soul take
Flight Today.
