I never thought
It could be.
Never thought
It would happen to me.
The tears of joy
Running in streams.
Mascara rolling
Down my face.
I care not.
How could I?
The news too joyous,
Too joyous to keep in.
Too joyous to keep hidden.
My, my.
I never thought they'd accept me.
Never thought that they'd let me.
But here I am.
Awaiting the morning when I
When I would walk through the doors
Maybe dressed in that uniform
To acquire my wings
At last I can learn to fly.

*********
I never learned to fly. But I'm flying in a different way.
