The Bird Who Refused To Fly

Opened its beady, little eyes, a tiny, little bird,

Looked around everything bright and blurred.
And thus began a journey in a world unknown,

With a thousand chirps, and a squeaky groan.

Tiny bites of food mother brought every day,
Under her tender care, he grew day by day.
His siblings learnt to fly, and flew the nest,
But Chucky dawdled, and took not the test.

His mother urged him with many a song,
"My son, the sky's where you truly belong.
Slight not the gift that you've been given,
For such neglect shall not be forgiven."

"You have been made with wings to fly,
But fly you would not if you do not try.
Your failures may leave but a few scar,
But find you must who you truly are."

But Chucky tried not, and was stubborn still,
And shook his head with a deep, loud shrill,
Until his mother grew ever so annoyed,
And pushed him off the edge as he toyed.

A flutter of emotions filled Chucky's cry - 
Anger and shock, and feeling betrayed by
A mother ever so trusted, and of horrid fear,
For the end of his life, he thought, was near.

And just as he thought he'd hit the ground,
Instincts took over, and he steered around.
Aah! The joy of his flight filled his very soul,
And to think that he had given up on it all!

#Find you must who you truly are.
