the unseen flight

She always believed she could fly. Soar above trees, animals and people alike. Dip her feet into the clouds. But people mocked her, Beat her, Laughed at her. Years she spent under the torment. one day she stood at the window To prove that she could fly And with closed eyes she jumped She flew away that day. Her mom came home With groceries and a gift A pair of costume wings She called for the girl and Set to work on dinner Wondering what caused the girl To take so long Her brother came home With homework and a gift A book about a flying girl He called for the girl and Set to work on his homework Wondering what caused the girl To take so long. Her father came home With money and a gift A movie of flying children He called for the girl and Set to watch the TV Wondering what caused the girl To take so long. Momma put down the spoon Brother put down his work Father put down the remote “son go and get your sister”
