As eagles rise
to brighter light
and see the wind
most birds fight

I know you too
shall fly free
above the struggle
to flap your wings

The lowly seagulls
must stay near the shore
and cannot dive deep
toward an ocean's floor

But you are stronger
than you know
and can brave
the undertow

With an eagle's heart
I know you will climb
and reach the peaks
in good time
