Why must it be so far out of sight < !signature-->When choosing to spread wings and take flight Encaged is the bird that passes each day Only to have its' feathers cut and thrown away Uncut is the melody the bird still sings Even though it has clipped wings [This message has been edited by Lady Web (edited 07-09-2000).] |

Sometimes it is ourselves who refuse to fly. Very nice poem. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Thanks Prometheus Under some circumstances its just not the right time to fly. But when the time comes soaring the heavens where there are no limits to heights that one can reach and achieve. Thanks Elizabeth I'm sure glad you like it, No one can take away from whats inside (dreams and hopes). |

Very true. Now is this descriptive of anything in your life? I sure hope not... Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

Marge: Thanx, I still do have fears of falling. As does everyone in their early works. Thanks very much. |
