STANZA ONE
Your world is as big as you make it.I know, for I used to abideIn the narrowest nest in a corner,My wings pressing close to my side.
Who am I kidding? Girls who look like me aren't good at sports.
I wish they'd pick me .
STANZA TWO
But I sighted the distant horizonWhere the skyline encircled the seaAnd I throbbed with a burning desireTo travel this immensity.
I'm going to prove them wrong....
STANZA THREE
Who is ready to play?
I battered the cordons around meAnd cradled my wings on the breeze,Then soared to the uttermost reachesWith rapture, with power, with ease!
I'm ready!
