Our little friends
who speak another language ...
dumb animals you say? Dumb?
Not you, my feathered beauty ...
making music for me when skies are grey!
Not you, my playful fluff of feline mischief ...
waiting at the window for my return at night!
Most of all, not you, lovable
barking approval of all I do ...
fetching my slippers ...
and lying in contentment beside our fireplace.
Dumb! Not they, who speak through silence
of loyalty and trust and love incomprable!
Suppose we build a bridge for you
our little friends so tried and true ...
When everthing on earth goes wrong ...
and life forgets to sing her song ...
you perk your ears and wag your tail ...
and say: "No fear, I'll never fail
Hold on, old pal, what'er you do
Close at your heels, we'll see it through
I'm all for you! I'm all for you!"
full agreement from me :)

I enjoyed that Marigie and so true. I have been looking after a four legged little friend ... and he so mischeivious ... yet, when he looks into your eyes and licks your face and cuddles up to you on the settee you know you have a friend.
ReplyDeleteFriends of nature what joy they bring us as we gaze upon their beauty.
hugs for you

ReplyDeleteYou know I saw a Swallow the other day sitting on my flower pot. It had it's half the body completely red like Cardinal and half of it grey like regular Swallow!!! So beautiful!! Some "Hanky Panky" going on in here!;D

Such a cute post Margie;)
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful as always Margie!
ReplyDeleteThe best sound in the world when I woke up every morning upstate where I used to live were the doves. They have that unique little "coo" - I always used to think it was an owl until I started getting really into what kind of birds were out there. Here - watch this - it's where I used to live. You'll appreciate this!!!

Now, I live where the only sounds are cars, trucks, and trains.
Ah well. :)
It's true...They are beautiful creatures that sometimes could be our best friend and so loyal!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Margie.
All the best.
