Once nestlings learn to fly
farthest they want to soar
New vistas to go and seek
and for unknown to explore
Think they know all about
for themselves they can fend
Unaware are of dark perils
those lurk beyond every bend
Rebuffed are all overtures,
or proffered any sane advice
Disregard suggested counsel
sans pondering over twice
Impulse given much credence
logic often gets to rescind
Dominant gets irrationality
and cautions thrown to wind
As much one may attempt to,
show wrong from what's right
Inane turn most of endeavors
what use is to put up a fight
Acknowledge the inevitable
with time one must accept
What earlier were unthinkable
how stealthy it has crept
Dreams for their well being
and concerns those applied
Are misconstrued impediments
and the guidance gets decried
One can't help but wish them,
safe journey they've in mind
God speed their undertaking
and what now they try to find
