Poetry - Fear
Fear The young seagull was perched on a high cliff He wanted to learn to fly, But he was too scared even to move, He couldn't even try. The mighty sea was roaring beneath him It was such a great height. What would happen if he fell Just when he took his flight? His mother called out to him, "Come on! Try, my dear! Why are you so afraid? There is nothing to fear!!" The seagull spread out his wings And threw himself downwards, He got the first taste of freedom - And started to glide upwards. The young seagull flapped his wings And uttered his first joyous cry, As he flew higher and higher, In the eternal blue sky.
