Broken Wing lessons

A broken wing butterfly

did not let his defect

stop his exploration of the floral feast.

With only a wing and a half

he still maneuvered

each blossom with such precision.

The message is obvious:

P E R S E V E R A N C E

but even more!

We should not allow a tiny glitch

to paralyze our enjoyment of life.

We should not permit a disability

to end our progress in life.

We should not let setbacks

cause a cessation to living

in any way.

Remember the lesson when

you feel like you are flying half throttle.

Take a deep breath,

head for the sky, and

full steam ahead!
