We return again to an ongoing series of some of my favourite poems. These get published every so often.

Spread Your Wings

By Gregory Hudson

Close your eyes, open your heart
concentrate hard, get ready to start.
It is almost time to lift off and fly.
Believe in yourself and you’ll fly very high.
Open your wings, spread them out
This is what flying is all about.
I know you can make it through this test.
Come on now. Do your best.
Now that you can fly and soar,
you can enter that successful door.
You’ve spread your wings and lifted your voice.
It’s now time for others to make the right choice.
