Time to Fly

For a time I will keep you under my wing.

Then I will feed you carefully, little eagle,

making sure each bite is digested slowly.

I will help you stand, then walk, then run.

Later when I know you have the strength,

I must let you fly…………….

If I let you rush, you may miss the task,

that I purposed you for, since the beginning.

If you think you are ready, and you go thru the door

perhaps unsteady, how will you ever know there was more?

Take my hand, and hold onto it tight,

I will tell you when it is your time.

It is different for everyone, you trust me now.

I will know the day, the hour, and the moment,

you will take flight…………….
