Feeling way out on a cliff’s edge here…
The ground looks so far away and
I’m not so sure about this flying business.
“push, push�
“nudge, nudge�

Quit shoving already!!!
The net a few feet down just disappeared.
Sooo… I’m trying to decide if
I should jump and take my chances
(Crashing onto the ground is really painful!) or if
I should wait until [mother bird] decides it’s time
For me to be pushed.
If I wait, I may crash anyway, but
There’s a chance she’ll fly down and catch me
Before I hit the ground… or maybe
If I shove off now,
I’ll actually learn how to fly with these »«
Weak things someone called wings.
Up here, they just keep getting in the way.
I don’t know……………
“nudge, nudge�
“push, push�

Sooner or later, I have to give up my
Comfortable nest and
“push, nudge�
Trust the One who made me to
Know “nudge�
What “push�
He’s “SHOVE�
Do………. ing……………….
