I am a baby eagle,
Learning to fly.
My heart pounding a million miles an hour,
Thinking it's impossible to reach the sky.
When mommy eagle says okay, it's time to fly, I look at her in fear and anxiety.
My heart pounding a million miles an hour, its impossible to reach that sky.
She looks at me, and says, yes flying is scary but gratifying.
You'll fall but I'll be there to pick you up, when you need a push I'll give it to you.
But in the end, you have to learn to reach the sky.
It's impossible, I said. I am small and the world is too big, the sky is too large. The world will eat me whole.
She laughed, yes, the world and the sky is huge but your heart is big and your will is strong, the world becomes your friend when you are one with yourself.
So I swallowed my fear and tried... Tried again and again. Eventually, I flew. It took forever, but I realized that each time I tried, I got a little bit better and better.
