I raise my eye

To the infinity

Of the sky

Past the oceans

Into the heavens

I soar into

Freedom and joy

My lover beside me

And the future

Bowing before me

As I embrace it.

-

Exhilarating and adrenalin

Pulsing through

My body

With each new flap

Into glory.

Pure life seeps

Into my mind

And soul

I praise the

Father for

Who gave life to me.

-

The darkness

Of the past

Is lifted

In each new day.

Welcoming me

To the future.

I come to it

With a willing stand

And bravery in my eye

I take flight

With life ahead.
