Poetry "To Leave the Nest"

Hello, little bird

Are you afraid to fly?

Afraid to spread your golden wings

And take unto the sky?

Well, my little darling,

I'm quite frightened of it too;

But stick with me a while

And I'll surely see you through.

I'll be sure to take good care,

And shield you from the rain.

I'll guard you with my life, you'll see,

I'll suffer all your pain.

For, to see you fly

Would be the greatest sight!

Those golden wings of yours

Reflecting the sun's light.

I believe you'll greet the sky

Sooner than you think

Because I believe in you, my bird

You're my missing link.

Through your eyes I see wonders,

Through your ears I hear

The world's most guarded secrets,

And its inner fears.

So fly, fly, my golden dove!

I hope you find your way...

But, my little darling,

Please return to me one day.
