Jonathon's Journey

Description

Dedicated to my Dad and everyone who dares to not only dream but LIVE.

My dad and I watched Jonathon Livingston Seagull when I was a child. I was far too young to understand. I found it so sad the seagull died. I think of the story often and never have gone back to review it because everytime I think about it, it made me sad. Some 20 odd years later I decided to look the story up.

This time I cried because of just how well that seagull lived, and the power of the message. I understood my father and his love of this story more closely than I have my entire life.

Thank you Dad, for setting my face to the wind, holding on when I needed and letting go when it was my time to fly.

Skybird
Make your soul
And every heart will know
Of the tale

Skybird
Make your tune
For none may sing it
Just as you do

Look at the way i glide
Caught on the wind's laxy tide
Sweetly how it sings
Rally each heart at the sight
Of your silver wings

Skybird, skybird

Nightbird
Find your way
For none may know it
Just as you may
