The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Brave a Wingbeat

Brave a wingbeat and fly one more.
The albatross circles the globe,
Adventuring to distant shores.
Brave a wingbeat and fly one more
Where eagles soar and mountains roar,
Sparkling with stars on soft snow robes.
Brave a wingbeat and fly one more,
Swallow swirling until you’re sure.
Bravely beginning with one wingbeat …
The albatross circles the globe.
