Like An Eagle

I’ll fly……

Beyond my fears

Upon them I’ll tread

Mistakes I’ll no more dread

For with them I’ll make amends.

In joy or in tears

I’ll learn to persevere

I’ll stay to the end

To earn the ‘cheers!’

I’ll ignore the jeers

Of my peers

Who call my dreams ‘mere’

And say I’m weird.

‘have some more beer’

‘the future’s still ahead’

‘You have many more years’

Yet they call themselves ‘friends’

I’ll no more be a hen

Restricted to the pen

Because now I’m an eaglet

Ready to display it’s prowess.
