WATCH ME FLY Copyright 1997 Ellen Fair Suddenly it's autumn Looking back across the way The distance blends together Today and yesterday On yes, the third trimester Of a life that's not quite lived And now there's left but winter That is all that's left to give Stronger wings are flexed now Poised beneath the sky I spread them in rebellion Can you see them? Watch me fly!
Reason for writing:
The seasons of my life are changing...I suddenly
awoke and found that, according to the averages,
my life is half gone. But I also realized that
much of it remains. And so, in rebellion,
I spread my wings...and fly stronger than ever before.
