Flying off into the world
Far, far away from here
Spread your wings my darling
This I tell you most sincere
With everybody watching you
How could you ever spread your wings?
“They’ll laugh” you whispered; said
Though with joy your heart would sing
“No, no I mustn’t
What if my flight I fail?”
Hun, your fear is what binds you
Not flying lets fear prevail
Perhaps I wasn’t the one to show you
You’ll find that person someday
The person to open wide your eyes
Not one blinder blocking your way
For now I let you roam
Off to live forever without me
Trying to leave you words of wisdom
To make you the person you want to be
My shy little Wendy bird
Just turn your head to the sky
Happy thoughts and pixie dust
I promise you will fly
Happy thoughts and pixie dust
I promise you will fly

About a friend who will be leaving me at the end of the summer... though it even could have applied to me about a year ago. Hmmmm. First poem in a long while.

Very nice poem. I loved it. It was tough to chose a favorite part. I loved the entire thing. I did find one thing that you night want to fix. I copied the stanza that the mistake is in and the correction is in brackets.
“No, no I mustn’t
What if [in] my flight I fail?”
Hun, your fear is what binds you
Not flying lets fear prevail
Keep up the good work. -

How sweet the thoughts
How sweet the thoughts that your little wendy bird will soar through the sky without a worry, without fear of failure. Wisdom passed on is a precious gem that is worn close to the heart, let this little wendy of your rise above all and may her eye see keenly and keep her out of harms way.
I like it, I like it so.

Very well written. You're an amazing writer! Keep Writing !!
