Up, Up and Away

Sometimes we get so excited
that our wings start to flutter,
and we no longer touch the ground.
We start floating just a little,
and don't even realize it.
Then imagine our surprise
when something knocks us to the ground.
They say things happen for a reason,
I believe this to be true.
Sometimes we need grounded,
to remind us where we came from.
But just as importantly,
sometimes we need to float,
to remind us where we are going.
