"Little Eagle"

Remember eyes 
Designed to hold wonder— 

To see the unseen, to discover the hidden promise. 

Remember days

Created for venture— for enjoyment. 

Where wild ideas to burst into reality. 

Remember

Life has a tendency to create mess. 
Mess

Through innocent lenses looks a whole lot like opportunity—
Like an open invitation to explore what was once 

Far too perfect, 

Too deep, 

And far too painful to be reached. 

How could one forget 

This mess 

Is key to fine focus, upgrade, & growth? 

Remember mess

The very place from which you were crafted. 

The birthplace where breath first filled your lungs. 

Please little one, 
Remember 

Mess is not scary. 
It’s not the playground of fear, 

But the mountaintop of courage. 

Never forget, you soar as the eagle. 

You’re only as rushed as the sloth, 

If you so choose. 

You are brave like the lion. 

Remember.

Remember who you are.
