My wish for you is that you will soar.
You have encountered many sorrows and faced difficult challenges.
You have gritted your teeth,
Smiled through the pain,
Danced despite the tears.
You didn't always feel strong,
But you always persevered.
And my wish for you?
Is that you will soar.
But if you're not at that point where you feel ready to spread your wings,
To attempt to fly above those things that weigh you down.
May you have the will and the courage to prepare your wings.
To hope for better days ahead.
May you hold on to the knowledge that you will get through this.
And have the wisdom to know the way.
And as a bird lifts itself without thought or anticipation,
May you one day be free.
May you feel the freedom to soar above those burdens,
The oppression,
The overwhelm.
May you feel the gentle hands of those around you and those who have gone before you.
Loving you.
Encouraging you.
Just one more step.
One more deep breath.
Don't give up just yet.
You were born with wings.
May you remember how to fly.
May you soar.
