Early one
spring a robin nested in
the bend of the downspout
under my neighbors roof.
Through an upstairs
window, I could easily
observe her feeding the
newly hatched birds. A
couple weeks passed
before I spotted one of
the babies perched on the
edge of the nest. To my
surprise, I witnessed it
suddenly take flight for
the first time, with a
rustle of wings and a
rocky descent to the
ground. Feeling worried,
I hurried outside to see
what would happen. Part
of me wanted its mother
to come to the rescue,
but deep down I knew this
tiny creature would have
to fend for itself. I
wrote this composition
for those who face such
seminal moments as they
muster the courage to
leap from one stage of
life into the
next.
