How does the fledgling dare to take the first step into air And leave the warmth of kin and nest The comfort of her mother's breast? How does the fledgling trust That she will not land in the dust and fail to make her first assent and die too quickly, wishes spent? How does the fledgling soar on downy wings that seem too poor to carry her beyond her home and let her freely, wildly roam? How can this fledgling, small and frail Leap without the fear to fail? Please fledgling, speak from up above And tell me how to dare to love. |
