Willy Wonka: Don&#039;t you know what this is?<br /> Violet Beauregarde: By gum, it&#039;s gum!<br /> Willy Wonka: Wrong! It&#039;s the most fabulous sensational gum in the whole world!<br /> Violet Beauregarde: What&#039;s so fab about it?<br /> Willy Wonka: This little piece of gum is a three course dinner.<br /> Mr. Salt: Bull.<br /> Willy Wonka: No, roast beef. But I haven&#039;t got it quite right yet.

Now that shes trying to fly,
shes noticing the chains.

Once she gets free,
She'll never look back again.

But she has to rest,
she can't wiggle forever.

And in that moment of rest,
her chains are yanked tighter.

This terrible chaos;
its snapping her fragile wings.

The sun sets on another tired day.

Then out of the dark,
she spots the pure incandescence of His halo.

She reaches for God,
and he touches her chains.

Shes free,
and she flys- forever.

I hope this inspires you to never give up. Things always get harder, and you will never face something you can't handle.
