A Good life ... (a poem)

[Graehstone]

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
