David O'Haolin Whalen Poet Ode

Ode To Wren

Ode To Wren

Her smile…
Could light
The darkest night

Her frown…
Turn the world
Upside down

She’s a circus…
She’s a sideshow
In her own special right

She’s a star…
That steals the show
Also a tiny slapstick clown

She’s special…
She’s beautiful
Both inside and out

So special...
That the Sun seems
To follow her about
 
She’ll leave…
Some day (as will I)
Of that there is no doubt

But she’ll always
Remain within my heart
And I’ll never let her out

Things must always end…
Change and start anew again
With a whisper…or a SHOUT

Yet Wren…
My little one year old friend
Is so special that the Sun seems
…To follow her about...
