We are always

afraid 

that we are not enough…

That we may not 

deserve love

or consideration,

or the time 

it takes to listen

and understand…

That we are less

than the effort it takes

to be held gently…

We are always 

afraid

that we do not have

what it takes

to fly 

on fierce

and powerful wings…

So listen to me now

as I whisper 

the secret I have learned

from one “dove”

to another…

We are really Eagles

and it is time

to take 

Flight.
