I hear them chirping

My brothers in love

I see them roosting

On boughs above

Jumping felt easy

To heed the call

Leaving the nest

Once and for all

The winds won't lift me

On wings too small

But mom, I'm flying!

Don't mind the fall

They’d been put to shame

So I fed it sweets and nothing

Just enough to keep it in
