Soar

Soar

I saw you fly

You were beautiful and free

Soaring above the ground making your own path

Then one day you were gone

I always looked to the sky thinking of you

Wondering would I ever see your beauty again

One day you appeared

You were not free you were not soaring

Something happened you were in pain

You didn’t want to fly anymore you didn’t want to be free

You just wanted to rest

It was sad you were so beautiful and happy flying

I wanted to see that again for you

Slowly I saw you want to fly again.

I saw you stretch and spread your wings

Start to dream about flying again

The radiance the beauty I first witnessed was coming back

The more you grew a fear flooded over me 

A realization that when you soared I may never see you

I would lose you, like the first time

So I tried to hold you back.

Only to destroy your confidence again

I watched you begin to lose the dream

Have thoughts you could not fly again

And the desire to rest

The first time I saw you fly

The joy in my heart.

The beauty of you so free soaring through the sky.

I carried that vision and feeling for years

It gave me strength in tough times it gave me hope through the darkest times

By holding you back I would never see that again

The intense feeling of joy and bliss you gave to me watching you.

A feeling only coming from seeing you free.

Witnessing you soar one more time is priceless to me

The cost of seeing you soar

Never seeing you again 

It’s worth it seeing you happy

The lessons of how one can never be truly happy pleasing others

Learning to go your own path

One’s beauty only comes when we are true to ourselves

I owe you so much for all that you showed me

For the beauty and joy you have given me

It would be wrong to hold you back

You should soar and be free

Show the world how beautiful you are

Never look back, fly away

Free soaring in the sky beautiful and happy.

We all need to soar
