Graehstone Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I am fortunate enough to have been asked to write the poem for a non profit org that puts out a Parrot calendar every year. The year that I was asked to write the first poem the theme was longevity. Here is what I wrote, I hope you like it. A Good Life I know what your Grandpa did And your papa too When I was hatched from my egg Back in forty two I saw him kiss your mom Way before they wed The big day of the Prom And all the things they said The day that you were born I was there to see you cry Then I, in my loyalties, was torn When you looked me in the eye I’ll live to see you marry And have a kid or three But before I grow too weary And life will set me free There’s something I must say to you Before I spread my wings and fly There’s nothing I would change or do A life of love and peace had I I loved your Grandpa and your Dad And of course I loved you too And all the good times that I’ve had Starting that day in ‘forty two Graehstone<br><br>Post edited by: Graehstone, at: 2008/05/21 21:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
