Ready to Fly | Poem

 
Ready to fly



 
 

 May we walk in your footsteps
 To lead us from our own tragedy
 Take these reins from me
 I go steadfast into the light 
 While we dance from the flames
 Love is our destination and reservation
 So now we know how to run
 Let us go and be free
 Run this world away
 Find us at top of the mountain
 Ready to fly where we can only go
 "Yes" we will shut out all weakness and darkness
 For we are the ones
 The ones with with all ...
