We Watch You Grow

We Watch You Grow

First, a neck that can extend.

Then, the body gets longer.

Soon your feathers

will look like ours.

Then, you will have a chance

to reach for the sky.

Practice Vigilance

 


Practice Vigilance

The path looks clear

from here to there.

The distance isn't long.

The journey seems easy,

but don't forget

that storms may form.

Which Direction?


Which Direction?

We look in the same direction.

Where is your focus?

Do we make the same connection?

Are we drawn to what we see?

Will we make a move?

Take a chance on what's new

or stay within our comfort zones?

Keep Your Head Up


 

Keep Your Head Up

It's a new day.

There's no telling

what might come your way.

Opportunity may wait

behind the next door.

Be open to it.

Your World


Your World 

Look around.

This is your world.

Walk through the grass.

Take a taste test.

Go into the water.

You already know

how to swim and dive.

It will take a little time,

but soon you will fly.

A Second

 


A Second

The bird sits on a branch.

Everything is in focus.

I press the shutter button.

The bird is in flight.

It only takes a second

for the picture to change.

its theme song.

works to its own beat.

You Can


 

You Can

What are you waiting for?

Do you expect to get carried away?

Make a move.

The path may be rocky,

but others have taken it.

You can too!
