In rocky canyon, pure content, had bear,
But eaglet's song above him stopped his trek.
Oh bear, she cried, how is the world from there?
He laughed, Your wings must show you, says my deck.
But nestled safe, I find no need to fly.
The choice is yours, but if you reach inside,
Your mother's love may lift you to the sky.
And eaglet smiled, she knew she longed to glide.
So up she went, and bear, below her, ran.
Together, they found every mountain pass.
When Sun came up each day they made a plan,
To live and love and learn, they raised a glass.
Remember mother eagle when you fly.
Remember those who love you by and by.

Listen to an interview with Susan
Who doth ambition shun,
And loves to live i' the sun,
Seeking the food he eats,
And pleas'd with what he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy.
But winter and rough weather. ~ Shakespeare, As You Like It
