When Eagles Dare

An Inspirational and Uplifting Poem EVERY DAY from Simon J. Halliday!

When Eagles Dare

The eagle flies high above us all

And even sparrows, 'till death, won't fall

So why do us humans blunder on

Today we run, tomorrow we crawl

We have potential, this much I know

And perhaps eventually this will grow

Yet mostly watching from the lines

We're wondering why life doesn't flow

So try and let the worries go

And find out what you have to show

The world is waiting for your gift

Remove the barriers, let it glow

Yes, face the barrage of human doubt

With all the chaff we can do without

Then gently sort it to one side

And with your talent quietly shout

Is caution wrong in modern times?

Is this among your list of crimes?

You'll find that boldness can be best

But not too much, for life's a test

The test is always on, each day

So try to rise beyond the fray

You know that eagles dare to fly

Why not the likes of you and I?
