Soar

Soar

Birds,

they rely on their parents in the beginning,

and their steps are a little shaky at first.

When their parents know the time is right,

they push them out into the real world to fly.

At first it's scary, being out all alone,

but then, after a while, they soar!

It's just like us, if you think about it.

Our parents take care of us for the first 18 years,

but then, they push us out into the real world.

They know that we are ready,

even if we don't believe it yet.

After they let us go, we then realize

all of our dreams are just a step away;

it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

All we have to do, is believe in ourselves,

and after all of that is said and done,

We, too, will soar!
