Crowned Eagle

Draft:

My brothers walked and spread their wings

Taking their path, leaving me alone

Me wanting to go, find my spring

Searching as I tread along

I felt the sand between my toes

I think my joy is near

I panic as the sand rose to my clothes 

I went down with tear

Storms, gale, and rising waves

Facing them with straight face

Found a force, hold to save

Finally, in baby steps, I ace


Revised:

My brothers walked and spread their wings

Flying slowly then soaring up high....

Me wanting to go, find my spring;

Searching, looking, going for the light

I felt the sand between my toes...

I think I found it, is my day of joy near?

I panic as the sand rose to my clothes...

Where do I go? Why am I in tears?

The storm lashed, the gale gushed and waves lapped!

Facing them all with a straight face

Held on the force, spirits unflapped...

Finally, in baby steps, l ace!
