The Wise Old Owl

It is said they are wise, Beyond belief, If you listen closely, They can ease your grief. If I only knew, The words he says, Maybe, just maybe, It would ease my head. For she has left me, And I don’t understand, What I did wrong, For her to leave this land. If she only knew, The hurt in my heart, Would she come back, And give a new start? My love for her, Will never die, For I am but man, Trying, not to cry. So tired I am, Of the way I feel, Only wanting, A love that is real. Too much to ask, Maybe so, I am just a man, Never to know.
