FLY AWAY!

I used to crawl a lot
After I learned to move
But, in a baby’s life
That, was pretty "smooth".

To learn to get around
Was, a slow process
And, I guess, it hasn’t changed
All, that, much, I guess.

After, I learned to crawl
I, got up, on my feet
And got into, everything
(Sometimes, my ass got beat.)

But, we all have to learn
To go, where we may
And, after all these years
I’m still, learning, today.

After, I started walking
And taught my feet, how
I really, got around
And, sometimes I thought, "Wow!"

And, then, I learned to run
Although, not very, fast
And, sometimes, I stumbled
And, fell down, on my ass.

But, then, I caught the knack of it
As, I got up to speed
And, watched as I passed those things
That, I, really need.

Now, I just keep running
Although, I don’t know, "Why?"
I, suppose it’s just because
I, can’t learn how to "FLY".

Believe in yourself and let the true beauty of you heart shine, let your spirit soar, and your soul speak truths.Then my friend only when you believe will you fly to heigths unknown.
