Leanne Walsh Poet I do not know?

My Dear Old Cockatoo

My dear old cockatoo
You know that I love you.
You with your sulfur crest,
You by far are the best.

Your pure white, soft feathers
Tell me of endeavors
You braved the howling wind
And found your way across
The Pacific ocean.

Your bold and beady eyes
Tell me of your courage
Your role as a leader
Commanding entire flocks
To pass the resistance.

Your curved and beaky beak
Tells me of your troubles
In co-operation
With your friend cockatoos
But you got on with your life.

You conquered what seemed
Impossible
And found your way here.
You've been with me for
The last fifty years.

My dear old cockatoo,
You know I love you.
