Standing on the edge of this sheer rock wall,
Looking down at the bottom I just can't jump
I trust these new wings will surely give lift,
the fear holds me back as I hesitate and stall
The last set I had were not built real strong,
I crashed and I rolled to the bottom before
The new that I have are built well and good,
the best material known is what there made of
All that I need is to trust and let go,
but something is holding my feet to the ground
I flap them a bit and I lift just a litttle,
Then stop for a moment to catch my short breath
I know what this canyon holds if I will fly,
but all I can do is step back and wait
Afriad to just fly but wanting it badly,
Praying for peace for this scared timid bird

her sweet song of laughter
