Keep Flying Poem by Stewart Watkins

To soar like an eagle, high, way high in the sky
To explore spaces and places others fear to go, confident my heart knows why
To be self-assured, directed, focused, and free
To fly above the treetops and overlook 'Mother Earth' and know that I must forever be ME
To learn how to fly above the storms and not against them for they are real
To be smart and take a rest when my wings get heavy but keep my vision on the celestial sky because it's God's will
Flying! Now that's what I was born to do
If I try to do otherwise then I'm through
Oh! Big, beautiful mountains I see coming on the horizon
Keep flying! Now that's the ticket for I must keep rising
Quitting, faltering, hesitating, plummeting.....no, none of this is me
I must keep flying, rising, and soaring for the whole world to see
