So I thought that we had to create another thingy for the last reading(The Bow and the Kiss and 1 Corinthians stuff). That being said, I wrote a poem. I don't want to appear flashy like I want to share my stuff, but if it helps Ryan, Heather, and Riles with story stuff, then I'll post it.
So here it is:
The Absent-minded Eagle
Every morning I watch
a funny figure.
It's the sight of
an absent-minded eagle.
You see, every morning,
this beautiful bird
with the powers to fly majestically over all he
sees, sadly must remember he can.
He was given
this powerful thing within.
Flight!
Sometimes he remembers;
I remember, when he did.
Sunrise! He just hopped awake
and leaped into the blue yonder.
Flight!
Most times he doesn't remember;
I remember, the days that
he flies.
Next time tomorrow?
