Wings of Wisdom
Updated on April 20, 2012
The bird takes its first step
To the edge of freedom
Taking wing
On his parent's wisdom
What will he remember
And what will he forget?
Freedom's cup
Could bring a life of regret
Full of promised choice
His legacy will begin
Free will
To be moral or full of sin
Will the sails of his mind
Be straight and true
With courage
For what he must subdue?
Will he hear my voice
In the expanse of his days
Echoing loudly
As a guide for his ways?
Will he feel my presence
As challenges rise before him
Providing strength
To reject superficial whim?
Will he feel my love
Unconditional and approving
His heart
Always knowing, never doubting?
Will he always remember
The days as a family
Forever together
Even in distant memory?
