My Leap Of Faith
The sun had just gone down and the moon began to slowly rise, the sounds of the city grew quieter and the sky grew darker. That’s when I knew that it was time to fly for the first time. I felt nervous, a strong gust of wind blew beneath me as I perched on that branch.
I was encouraged by a group of my friends and family who were all there to support me. I gripped my talons around the branch. I was excited as I take my first flight. I checked to see if there were any predators, I didn’t want my first flight to be my last!
I slowly lifted one leg. It felt scared and I’m sure the branch was swaying much more than it needed to. I planted my foot down gripping that tree with my talons as hard as I could.
I finally built up my courage and was brave enough to take the leap of faith. My heart was racing as I spread my wings and launched myself up into the air. I couldn’t believe it, I was flying!
As I soared through the air my wings felt alive and I could see everything on the ground, beetles scurrying across the ground,Oh wait... I can see worms squirming beneath the grass,I swooped down and grasped on to the worms.
I feel like I can do anything,now I can fly. Finally me and my friends can go and explore the sky.
This week for writing we read a narrative called The Leap of Faith.Then we wrote a narrative poem about an owls first flight and how it felt or what it was doing in the process of it taking his or her first flight.To help me write a good story I used powerful words, good sentence structure and strong paragraphs.Today I learnt that it's good to do things you haven't done before because you never know if you try.
