Peaceful Thoughts of Solace
I'll lend you, for a little while, a bird of mine," He said.
"For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or maybe twenty-three.
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, as all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this bird to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love - not think this labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again.
I fancied that I heard them say, 'Dear Lord, thy will be done.'
For all the joy this bird shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shower him with tenderness and love while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.

And should the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand."

Parrots

Parrots are a funny bunch −
They often curse and swear −
You really cannot take them out to lunch
When your grandmamma is there.

They like to stride atop a cage,
Much as a soldier might,
Then hang upside down from the top railing −
Oh my, what a sight!

They’ll sample many a tasty morsel
Proffered with anxious hand,
Then shy away from the very next damsel
Who flashes a wedding band.

Never try to shut them up,
Or tell them “Stop it!” – that’s rude –
They’ll chatter away at you non-stop,
Just as a parakeet should.

But do not blame them for their foibles,
For they are sourced in us.
If only we’d leave them back in the trees –
Or, at least, allow them to do as they please –
Rather than force them into a cage
Against which both beast and bird may rage,
They could remain as the good Lord intended
And not become one of us, appended.

Parrots

The parrot is a fancy bird,
clad in breakfast green.
He wings his way to foreign heights,
prodigal to be seen.
The pappagallo has its gentle note,
lost in northern cold.
Do they return, when flown away,
to my sill of gold?

◦I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.
