A little owl perched out of sight
Ready for her inaugural flight
The wind blows gently over the nest
Doubt raised over the test
The moon peeks from behind the cloud
Urging the owl to join the crowd
Little owl huddles down
The little owl is afraid of the ground
So far below
an unknown foe
The fireflies whisper
Come and join us
Little owl shakes her head no
Too afraid, she will not go
Suddenly a noise from the dark
With a whoosh another owl parks
In front of little owl, with giant eyes
Come take your flight, you might be surprised
She takes a deep breath
And she jumps from the nest
Wings spread
Upheld head
Feathers catch wind
Skyward they send
Little owl begins to soar
The little owl is afraid no more
