have you seen them…
the fledglings just learning to fly
they stand on the edge of the nest
flapping and flapping and flapping
they must strengthen their wings
before they take to the skies
and when they’re ready
they don’t simply soar
they beat their wings and travel a few feet
take a rest
and do it again
they may even hop for a while
when they grow tired
and then it happens
they mount up into the sky
and see things from a whole new perspective
they can do it
and so can we
maybe we’re just learning to fly
maybe we can only travel short distances
maybe we have to hop for a bit
but we must never ever ever forget
that we have wings
we have the ability to fly
we must do our part
always remembering we have wings
and trust the One who gave them to us
