Like An Airplane

Like an airplane, bravely take off, Reaching your goal, with much passion; Endure the storm, the turbulence, The rugged air, and affliction. Don't take a plunge, or a nosedive, Like a dropping, crashing aircraft; Don't fall headfirst, as you descend, Just be steady, during the draft. Let your wings glide, in vile weather, Stay strong and firm, against the wind; Touch the safe ground, the landing lot, Get set in flight, soar once again. Look at the earth, the world below, While you're above, in the wide lane; Now you are up, later you're down, Life is risk-fraught, like an airplane.
