Seatbelts Please
by
Suzanne Tyson
Goodbye,
goodbye, I’m on my way to a new way of life,
a place, a start with a beating heart, I’m on my
way.
This old life of mine just doesn’t work for me no
more,
and it’s time to roam, move on, and find a new
home.
"Seat belts please," the stewardess calls out, and
so
here I go. Rising to the higher heights and up into
the clouds and into the sky.
Goodbye to the sorrows for there’s a new day
tomorrow.
Excited! Nervous! Anticipation! But maybe, just
maybe.
The world waits for me. I feel engulfed in a dreamy
trance
of romance, love and laughter. I ask myself again,
why not take a chance?
Don’t think. Don’t blink. Don’t miss a thing.
Flying. Flying high on life. Flying with airplane
wings.
Carry me. Carry me far away to sights unseen
with my anxious heart full of hopes and dreams for
the future.
I have nothing to lose
and I can make it up as I choose.
I’m young and ready. I’m young and running to
somewhere
where there is a place for me to feel free to make
my mistakes.
It doesn’t matter to me.... Whatever it takes.
There’s more to life than just surviving, and I
plan on arriving.
Bright city lights below beckon me as the plane
dips down.
My hands sweat, my stomach churns with every nerve
in tune.
I will be beginning soon this new life of mine.
I have all I need. My youth and time. And so.....
Hello. Hello.
