On the Edge

{Post: 244/365}

standing 

on the edge

of a precipice

terrified

fear

breaking out

in beads 

on my brow

soon...

I will jump

and

I will dream

and 

hope beyond hope

that I will sprout

iridescent

fairy wings

and FLY

Children

{Post: 121/365}

miraculous
a baby 

with chubby cheeks 

big eyes 

an innocent heart 

and overnight

 an intelligent

 capable

 funny young PERSON 

with ideas, wit and charm 
they can leave you totally in awe 

for but a moment   
YOU are their guiding hand

YOU teach them 

all that you know 

to be good and right and true

and when it is TIME...

you LET GO
You let them drop from the nest...

and you watch them FLY!
