It Was One of Those Mornings

We bid farewell to our eldest daughter
In her marriage ceremony with full honour
The traditional farewell by a brother
To his sister that morn was an emotional crusher

The following morning we had a visitor
A talking parrot found our home cosier
He fluttered around and called out 'Father'
We adored our little addition, my husband's admirer

A 'loss' and 'gain' contrasting mornings. The first is very emotional, especially for the mother; the 2nd comes with a lovely smile:) Congratulations on this fine win, Balveen. ~ regards // paul
