The Kite of Life

As the string gets longer,
And you fly up higher
Your view of the world becomes larger.
As you enter the sky
You are carried through endless ways to learn.
With so much to watch
And so many winds to carry you,
You just have to sit back and take the ride.
Winds swoop you high
Or drop you down low.
But yet you stay flying through the sky.
Everything around you
Somehow manages to keep you up
By pushing wind under your wings.
So fly up high
And watch from afar.
Gain wisdom
And knowledge of life.
