SOAR - a poem

Dear God,

It's me.

Rachelle. 

Daughter.

Mother.

Teacher.

Dreamer.

Wanna-be Photographer.

I'm tired.

Tired of waiting to make it happen.

Tired of standing at the edge of this cliff and wanting to test my wings. 

Tired of thinking "what if…"

          my wings aren't strong enough?

          I fail?

          I'm not good enough?

Can I spread my wings, take this leap of faith?

Will you be the wind beneath my wings?

And if not, will You provide someone who can?

I'm looking out at the future before me.

My camera is poised to shoot.

My eyes are scoping the scene.

I feel inspired…

                   inspired to…

                             ruffle up these feathers a bit in the wind…

                                      and SOAR.
