Ostrich egg

An ostrich egg lay on the ground:
My confidence has been shattered
I am a fragment of what I used to be!
‘Hush’, chirped the baby ostrich
‘Who can deprive you of your talents?’
‘Alas!’, cried the egg, ‘My identity is gone!’
The new ostrich replied:
Then notice what you have become
Courage is contagious
Opportunity perpetual.
