A Borrowed Rose

little lithe bird 

fragile feathered friend

Is it so that a new day began

what weather do you bring

to sing of this fair day

has refreshing rain washed

trifle troubles away

have you brought me

 one red rose of happiness plucked

 from a new bride 's sweet bouquet 

 how I love fawning over you

but I know you cannot stay

I'll watch the rising sun

and wait for your return 

to brighten yet another day

dearest Fran... an ode to a feathered friend...
to spend some time listening to a song with hope
and readiness for flight... as petals from a Bride's bouquet
flutter in the wind until another day... Prayers for the
suppressed in their quest for freedom. Amen Pat
