We Can Fly

We Can Fly

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 5, 2014

Seagulls, like all birds, remind me that I can fly

When our bodies bring us down, we can always try

We have the wings to fly high on life

We can soar above our fears and strife

Our bodies are just vessels that we wear

Like a coat to protect us from cold air

We use them to learn the most while we're here

We find out nothing is as it seems to appear

There is much below the surface , deep inside of you

Where resides your strength, the soul to help you through

The spirit of all that you are, all that you will ever be

It all depends on how you act, the way in which you see

Sometimes we forget how strong we can truly be

Caught up in a world, there are things you can not see

Our strength can be felt, a sense of knowing

We can tap into, to guide us while we're growing

If you listen closely, you will know and feel

The inner strength, and you will know it's real

Even when our bodies bring us down, we should always try

Just like the Seagulls and the other birds, we'll know we can fly

Inside of us is the soul. It stores our inner strength. We are much

stronger than you can ever imagine. Our bodies may seem to

limit us from knowing what is beyond the physical. But look

deep within, and feel it. Know it. It will guide you and give you

strength, and help you to fly. Believe in it. You can fly!
