Upward By Skippy Richards The young birds perched upon a bough For their first solo flight Some shy, some bold, some jet-propelled. Some graceful, sure, and light. Some buds upon another bough Looked up into the sun. And burst in full and fragrant bloo7n Before the day was done. The eager and ambitious youths. The class of fifty-four. With just one tender, backward glance. Pass through the open door.
