poem for polly

[she]

Polly passed a while ago but still miss and will always have a special place in my heart for her as I have with all my pets. This poem was written by me not long after her passing. it still makes me weep. thought I would share it with you

 

my fine feathered friend

i had you so long

now your in a better world

and I must be strong

 

your soaring the skies

so high above

its your destiny

i cant compensate with love

 

I gave you the best

that I could provide

but now you have freedom

the space of the skys

 

your eating fresh fruit

so sweet from the trees

though supermarket goods

you accepted with ease

 

its hard to believe

your no longer with me

my one consolation

your death set you free

 

your now free to fly

the sky it is yours

no cage to confine you

God opened the doors

 

I believe your still with me

I still hear your calls

but their from high above

not stuck behind walls

 

Your calling so loud

so happy so strong

you were so ill little bird

your death cant be wrong

 

your now free to fly

to eat fruit from the trees

to feel gentle rain

and a warm blowing breeze

 

be happy little bird

enjoy what is yours

a life now in freedom

not stuck behind doors

 

so gentle so mild

my sweet feathered friend

for now its goodby

but for you not the end

Oh my! How these beautiful poems cause a lump in my throat, for I cannot imagine life without my first parrot. May your little Polly always fly free!
