flap those things little wing
stretch the heavens out
get out, about & overcome
ruffle your feathers & sing
cease not, your flight is not yet done
there’s only one way
to make it through despair
fear not, tomorrows never come
there’s only one day
& you are already there
you can do it little wing
stretch the heavens out
get out, about & overcome
ruffle your feathers & sing
mourn not for yesterdays long gone
you restless sparrow
your heart must brave new snares
stray not, those thorns are not your home
like an arrow
better in the air than there
flap those things little wing
stretch the heavens out
get out, about & overcome
ruffle your feathers & sing

I like your approach, Maria. The bigger picture is usually too big for one individual to contend with, so one step at a time is always the best place to start! 🙏

I enjoyed this. Great advice for all of us that want to bunker up inside, live in the past, and fear monger the future.

All things which I am more naturally inclined to do, I’m afraid. It’s why I write a poem like this occasionally. It’s as much for myself as anybody else that might read it. 🙏
