Let me fly....

To dream big I was taught. 

To let go of my fears and move ahead,

To be positive and never lose hope,

To have faith and confidence , 

I was told that If I reach for the moon,I'll be among  the stars,

but when I decided to fly, 

I was bombarded with Ifs and Buts ,

but why?

Am I to be entrapped in my nest forever?

Or should I leave my insecurities behind and just give it a try,

If i do try, maybe I will make my first flight,

for I've been building my wings too long.

To be within the nest is the safest I was told,

But if I remain, I may end up being deprived of life,

There are many who have flown,

even above the storm,

Who've  explored the riskiest end,

and yet survived.

And if they could, why can't I?

Life is too short,

I've already waited enough,

It's high time I respond to the call of my inner voice,

I have summoned my courage,

Now i am ready to make that one step away from the edge of the nest,

So with faith let me make the leap,

For I have strong belief ,

That if He wills He can make it my nature to fly, to soar , to thrive.

 He will keep aloft whomever he wants,

In the end, Tawwakul is all that one needs,

For indeed, whether I face Success or defeat.

to Him is all journeys end.
