First Flight


To a hatchling
The world seems wide
With Open arms and Accepting skies
Not aware of the failure that awaits below

Take flight!
Take that chance
If you don't, you will surely fail

Take flight!
Take that chance
You have to at some point

Take flight!
Should u slip,
The immovable ground awaits your mistake

Take flight!
The buoyant and refreshing air will keep you afloat
Catch a current just right,
And you can fly to the ends of the earth
Miss a current,
Your result will be the same
As if you had made a mistake

Be careful in your flight!!
Much is riding upon this first flight.
