Farewell, Dear Nightbird ( Cowritten With Carolyn Devonshire )

You were but three inches tall that day When I heard you cry and ran outside To stand between you, my beloved owl And a swooping hawk, wings three-feet wide Little me, new born owl of the night Staying in my wooded habitat Being brave enough to venture out Golly, Ollie, thinking what was that Each night you have serenaded me But today I bring sad news, sweet friend I must move away and leave you here Our life together's about to end To part, but in different places The lovely times we shared together This so sad Barn Owl and his neighbour We two birds will always be tethered And when the moon overcomes the sun I'll listen for your cries o'er the waves Your gentle croon brought peace and comfort It's a memory my heart will save http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/carolyn.php
