Let it Soar I am a blue jay soaring through the endless sky. I was cared for and nurtured by my parents in our nest, but now I am ready to take flight. I am a blue jay experiencing the adventure of life. I fly through the air without knowing where I will land. I perch on trees overlooking nature around me and observe. I am such a tiny thing in the huge world, but I matter, Everyone matters. I am a blue jay soaring through the endless sky. But, my journey hasn’t been only sun and clear skies, I have experienced rain, snow, and thunder too. I have a hard time letting go, the gentle whisper of “good-bye,” I do not enjoy the ice cold snow, but it is there where my vibrant colors glow. I am a blue jay soaring through the endless sky. With this life comes challenges to face and goals to conquer. And during this flight, I will find out my true identity. I am a blue jay experiencing the adventure of life. I fly through the air without knowing where I will land. I perch on trees overlooking nature around me and observe. I am such a tiny thing in the huge world, but I matter, Everyone matters.
