Your World
By: Georgia Douglas Johnson

Your World
Your world is as big as you make it.
I know, for I used to abide
In the narrowest corner,
My wings pressing close to my side.
But I sighted the distant horizon
Where the skyline encircled the sea
And I throbbed with a burning desire
To travel this immensity.
I battered the cordons around me
And cradled my wings on the breeze,
Then soared to the uttermost reaches
With rapture, with power, with ease!

And cradled my wings on the breeze,
Then soared to the uttermost reaches
With rapture, with power,with ease!
