Spreading Our Wings

Dread and fear of
That which surrounds
Doubting yourself
hopelessness abounds.

Throwing off sorrow
Shattering your bonds
Anxious to begin
confidence responds.

Knowing in life
That we must grab
Life's bright mystery
Avoid the drab.

Longing to feel
the sun on your brow
It's time to believe
To yourself vow.

Spread your wings
Finally to fly
Reach for the stars,
your limits deny.
