Little Wings Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

LITTLE WINGS
I want to fly far and high
Make my podium in the sky,
Build my nest in Jupiter
Like a star I want to glitter.

But my little wings I still neglect;
For it can't compete with the great.
So I've accused myself with excuses
And let my abilities wither in abuses.

Comfortably scratching the grounds
With chickens, slackness abounds;
Yet the eagle's voice kept calling
To escape that life too appalling.

How I wish I have bigger wings
To soar high along with kings;
Yet I'll use these wings of mine,
They will get stronger with time;

Stretch them according to my age
And throw myself off the edge.
The fear's gone; now I rise and fly.
I'm just brave enough to try.
