The Sky's the Limit (sonnet)

I am busting right through the clear blue sky,
Grasping for the stars now within my reach,
Spreading my wings out and learning to fly,
And learning the lessons life has to teach.
I'm breathing the freedom of each new day,
Holding fast to the dreams I've held so long,
Blasting through the obstacles in my way,
And singing the words to a brand new song.
Embracing the wondrous joy of it all,
I'm rising above the things that once were,
Celebrating victories large and small,
Secure in knowing my footsteps are sure.
"The sky's the limit" is such a trite phrase,
But that's how I'm truly feeling these days!
