I have a Bird in springWhich for myself doth sing—The spring decoys.And as the summer nears—And as the Rose appears,Robin is gone.

Yet do I not repineKnowing that Bird of mineThough flown—Learneth beyond the seaMelody new for meAnd will return.

Fast is a safer handHeld in a truer LandAre mine—And though they now depart,Tell I my doubting heartThey're thine.

In a serener Bright,In a more golden lightI seeEach little doubt and fear,Each little discord hereRemoved.

Then will I not repine,Knowing that Bird of mineThough flownShall in a distant treeBright melody for meReturn.

From Cloud 9 by George Harrison:

"Take my timeI'll show you cloud nineTake my smile and my heartThey were yours from the startThe pieces to omit are mine"

Just a little note about my long absences---Grandmotherhood keeps me busy, prenatal and post partum issues with my youngest daughter kept me out of flickr.

I am forever thankful to God, my son-in-law and daughter for the latest miracle in my life.
