Analysis of Take Flight
Leave little sparrow; take flight.
Fear not, the time is now ripe
To flee your cozy nest outright.
As with the wings of Daedalus dare to soar high.
Use your God-given gifts and reach for the sky.
Have courage; follow your dreams.
Let the Spirit lead you on a journey serene.
Scatter joy all around,
And let your love abound.
Go where the Wind will carry you,
To sites adventurous and new.
To yourself and to God forever be true.
