On a little country farm where fruits and vegetables grew,
Lived Winston the pig who had a lofty dream to pursue.
While the other pigs rolled in puddles and made mud pies,
Winston looked up at the expanse of the beautiful blue skies.
Winston would often look up and daydream with a smile.
He imagined himself flying through the clouds with both precision and style.
His papa named Duke had that dream long ago.
He taught Winston to follow his dreams of flight and to never let go.
Winston's mama Dutch was an artist through and through.
She showed Winston how to sketch and paint from her heart so true.
Dutch stitched Winston goggles made of ribbons and lace,
A functional and fashionable way to keep his eyes protected from wind on his face.
Winston studied flying both day and night.
He designed and constructed plane prototypes to carry out his flight.
Winston created a plane with all of the wisdom from his parents in mind.
He incorporated both style and function in his plane's aerodynamic design.
Years ago Winston started by drawing plans with crayons and chalk.
Now he's built a plane to be as fast as a falcon with wings like a hawk.
The cockpit was crafted from a solid oak barrel that was a perfect fit,
Equipped with controls and a comfy cushioned seat for Winston to sit.
On a particularly clear and sunny day Winston pulled his goggles down snug and tight.
His plane was ready and Winston was about to embark on the pig species first ever flight.
Winston drove his plane to the runway that Duke had built in the meadow.
His plane took off with a smooth ease and flow.
Duke and Dutch hugged and smiled with pure joy and delight.
They knew that if there was ever going to be a day when pigs fly it would be Winston's first flight.
So if you ever think that a dreams out of reach just think of Winston's story and what it can teach.
When you feel a passion inside build up the courage and give it a try because with persistence and dedication anything is possible even pigs can fly.
