The Flight

It happened one day, it was my first flight

Spreading my wings I felt so light

Peeping down from the nest

I decided to give it my best

Perching on the edge, feet rooted firmly

A gentle nudge from my mommy

Suddenly I found myself flying

Feeling so light and funny in my tummy

With everything appearing so very tiny

Soon my wings felt tired and my head dizzy

I came down to the ground in a bit fuzzy

And then I realized I couldn't fly back

My wings felt so weak, I just lost my track

My mommy swooped down to console me

Brought a little worm for so hungry me

Mommy and dadda kept a watch

On predators looking for an easy catch

But then it began to heavily rain

I had to run for shelter to a broken toy train

Day turned into the dark scary night

I longed for the warmth of mom's hug tight

Cats and giant rats were close by

Ready to eat me in an easy try

Hiding in the little toy train

Hungry sobbing and feeling the pain

I decided to try to fly in the morning again

I woke up with the first rays of the sun

Mommy fed me with a big fat worm

I pushed myself with all my might

Spreading my wings for my best flight

Up and away I could fly so high

Above the tall trees in the sky

For one last time, I came back home

Only to hug my dadda and kiss my mom

Before I was far and gone...
