Try

Try
By Auntie B 1/28/10

A baby bird leaps
From its nest
For the first time
That's quite a test

It doesn't know
If it can fly
It only knows
It has to try

It doesn't fly
At that first trial
It's more like falling
But with style

Yet still it tries
And will again
And when it flies
(Note: Not, "if";
"When")

Its efforts will
Be well-rewarded
That little bird
Will be afforded
Views
No other creature sees
Soaring high
Above the trees

Yes, soon that chick
Will touch the sky
And all it had to do was
Try.
