Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition
I nervously wait.
The bright sun blinds my eyes.
I’m getting impatient.
Then I feel a comforting arm wrapping around my shoulder.
I relax.
A warm glow spreads throughout my body.
I snuggle deep into her chest
I hear can her heart beating.
She makes me feel safe.
I don’t want to let go but I know I have to.
I take a deep breath.
I let go,
Open my wings,
And fly.
