Keagan woke up and looked out of the window
there was not a cloud in sight.
Keagan was so happy, he jumped up
with delight.

Keagan was so excited he could hardly talk,
Nala was running to keep up with his walk,
Daddy and Mommy were calling her back,
they had kissed and hugged Keagan and were wishing him luck.

Shannon and Ryan were waiting in the chopper,
Keagan had the biggest smile on his face,
A pilot lifted him up,
in the middle seat he sat, looking the picture of grace

With ear muffs bigger than his head, Shannon and Ryan
held onto their little friend tight.
With doors shut tight and seatbelts right,
The roar of the engine, the wind in the grass

Off they went up and up and around the sky they flew,
It was the most exciting thing in the world to do,
Looking down at the bushveld below
With animals running from the helicopter noise above
Keagan was so enthralled he did not move.

Ten minutes was all it took, the children were hooked.
‘Can’t we go again’, they cried!

The pilot smiled, and Nala barked at the wind.

The children ran from the helicopter and they all laughed
and thanked the pilot for the great ride.

Keagan went to tell Magic, he had been in the sky,
Magic asked him, ‘What is it like to fly?
They laughed and laughed and promised
that tomorrow they would play
as Keagan had to go home for what was left of the day.
