The Aspiration of Youth : The Flight of Innocence

Lo and behold, the young birds do take flight,
With wings untried, they soar and they aspireate,
With eyes aglow, they look at the endless height,
And dream of worlds beyond their current state.

For in the nest, they learned a precious truth,
That food would come to them, without a fight,
Their mothers fed them with a tender tooth,
And made their lives as easy as the night.

Yet as they leave the safety of their bower,
And face the world, with all its trials and fears,
They find that life is not a summer's hour,
But rather a tempest, full of doubts and tears.

For food, they thought, would come with ease to them,
As it had done in childhood's innocence,
But now they learn, with cruel and bitter hem,
That life requires effort and persistence.

The birds, so young, so full of hope and grace,
Are soon to learn, in life, they must embrace
The struggles, toil, and strife, that they must face,
To find their place, in this world's changing pace.

So let us heed the lesson, from these birds,
And not presume, that all is given free,
That we must work, to reap what life affords,
And not rely, on luck's unsteady sea.

For life is not a bed of roses, fair,
But a wild wood, with dangers everywhere.

From Shakespeare, to Dante, to Milton, we see,
The trials of life, in all their majesty,
A narrative of struggle, pain, and glee,
A tapestry, woven through eternity.

So let us not forget, the lessons learned,
From these young birds, as they leave the nest,
And let us strive, to earn what we have earned,
And live our lives, with courage, grace, and zest.

For life is a journey, full of twists and turns,
But with each step, we grow, we learn, we yearn,
And in the end, we'll find what life has earned,
A treasure trove, of memories, and lessons learned.
