Let's go fly a kite

The Kite's Gift To Me A young one with many a gifted talent, Created a thing of exquisite beauty to soar high above the planet. Shape,size,and artistry - The kite is perfect in every way. According to the laws of physics, In the sky it should stay. There in a small clearing surrounded by pines, The young one's hopes along with the kite are thrown up high. Yet - no matter how hard he would try, The kite fluttered back down from the awaiting sky. The pines were sad for the young one that day, And as they whispered their boughs began to sway. Across the small clearing the soft breeze did flow, Lifting the kite high where the young one had failed to make it go. The lesson learned this day is an easy one to see. No matter how perfect one's path may seem, Without Creator's help it will only remain a dream. wriiten by ShyHawk(FM) Spring 2002
