One Poem by Julie Paige

Taking Flight

Oh to have wings
I’d fly away
Leaving this life behind

I’d soar with the eagles
Dip for fish with pelicans
Sing with the warblers

My troubles would be over
When they came looking for me
I’d have taken to the sky

Following an ingrained migratory path
From here to there and back again
Procreating my main concern

Feeding my fledglings
Watching them leave the nest
Oh to have wings
