a song of freedom
from her soul she sings
while fluttering about
cautiously spreading her wings
gliding on gentle breezes
she surveys all that’s around
ever careful and watchful
to shun the hard ground
in search of her destiny
she finally takes flight
with dogged determination
to reach unexplored heights
everything she sees now
is through eyes brand new
so as she flies higher
the more glorious the view
beneath her lie the valleys
from whence she just fled
while lofty vistas she now sees
on wings outspread
observant of grand rivers
rushing to unite with the sea
she marvels at the sensation
of finally being free
with grace and resolve
she lifts her wings and soars
singing a sweeter song
than ever heard before
