If I fly <br />then I am off the ground. <br /> <br />If I am off the ground <br />I might fly too high and spin off into space <br />where I will perish. <br /> <br />If I don't fly <br />and stay on the ground <br />then I lose out on the experience of flying. <br /> <br />If I fly tip-toe but not actually fly <br />then I don't fly or soar. <br />and lose the experience of really flying. <br /> <br />If I stay on the ground then my life <br />will not be what it could be. <br /> <br />I guess flying is worth the risk. <br />But then this <br />is a personal choice <br />and I could fail. <br />So fear of failure <br />is my real enemy. <br /> <br />That I have to overcome. <br />Be prepared to fail as many <br />times as it takes <br />but don't give up on flying.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flying-9/
