Flight (Cap Verse) Poem by Christopher Tye

Flight (Cap Verse)

Feathered friends flying high,
How mankind envied their ability,
Yearning to soar upwards towards the heavens,
So many humans trying to make flight possible,
Everything tried from the time of Icarus,
Success started with balloons but still short,
The birds able to anything but balloons at the mercy of the wind,
Desiring to be like birds led us slowly,
Years of work and finally we can fly higher than any bird.
