Have you ever seen the transparent wings on a newborn baby?
Wings that with loving words and warm hands
can blossom and grow strong enough to carry a human being
through a whole lifetime.

But wings so fragile
that the smallest touch can destroy their mission,
break them down
so it will take them years to recover.

Broken wings sometimes never heal,
unless their are taken under love and special care.

One day I saw my wings had grown.
Because someone told me that if I only believe in it,
I can fly.
And if I can fly,
I will believe
that even the farthest outpost is never out of reach.
