I found this inspirational little poem today.
Many others have made posters, t-shirts, Etsy-type stuff out of it, so I can't claim any uniqueness to this creation. However, I felt it was a very appropriate message for my family this month.
One son is getting ready to leave on a mission. Another son is leaving for college at the end of the week. I am starting a new job, my first position as a teacher. My daughter is starting in a new school. So we all feel like the baby bird, balanced precariously on the branch and wondering if we dare take the leap.
So, for my beautiful children, I say... what if you do? Go out, dream big, take a risk.
And what if you fly?
I will be there beside you.
