soar

soar

she spreads her wings
and in doing so;
she flies

with hopes & dreams
to fulfill

i wish her happiness & 
joy
as she soars
far away 

remembering
that the mother bird
nourishes and teaches her baby birds 
and then she
must let them go,
watching them as they
fly away

when their wings are strong enough;
they leave the nest 
they fly
they soar

my sweet baby birds
i love you enough

to let you go 

may you happily
soar

may you remember
how much you are loved and
that the nest is
always here.

Beautiful!

As you know . . . I have also taught my children how to fly, and they are soaring all over the country and around the world. It really is a beautiful thing to watch the Lord guide their flights . . . even when our nests are a bit lonelier.

Hugs!

Very sweet, and a promise for them all.

Beautiful words from a mum to her children! We must feel proud of them that they feel confident enough to soar like this.

I have two gone...one years ago, another at the end of summer. It's bitter sweet to be the Mama Bird sometimes. I can't imagine when the last one flutters away... but I know it will be okay.

I loved your tribute.
