Deleted 0 #1 April 14, 2001 OK folks, here is a little background. I was sitting in my religion class at college this past Tuesday and realized that I couldn't get my mind off of skydiving. I pulled out my notebook and just started writing this. Remember, I am my no-means a poet/writer/creative writer/etc. It is just something that I thought would take away the burn of not being able to do AFF until 2002. Tell me what you think:----------------------------Passing The TestAs I step into my rig,I double-check all my gear.I load into the CASAAnd hear engines in my ear.Some people are sitting,Some strapped to the floor.The last person gets on,And they shut the jumpdoor.The CASA roars-upand flies to the sky.Everyone on this loadis ready to fly.Everyone is waitingFor the same thing to happen.The plane leveling out,And a signal from captain.We tighten our helmetsAnd check-out our rigs.We head to the jumprampLike a herd full of pigs.He lowers the doorAnd the first group gets on.They see the green-lightAnd then they are gone.Everyone jumps outin our own special way.Some groups, some single,For some, their first day.Everyone freefallsAnd pulls the ripcord.When the canopy fills-upWe all thank the Lord.We float back to EarthWhile under our main.We land on our feetAnd avoid hitting a plane.We pick-up our rigs.We've passed another test.When we're all done repacking,We head back to manifest.-Brandon WrenUse this all you want, but please don't change it and keep my name with it!Blue skies...
