Goodbye Songbird

My handsome songbird entertains me every year
On a branch outside my window, close enough to hear

The songs are sometimes shrill but always pleasant

Just loud enough to hear, his songs are my daily present

Spring and summer, your song box enthralls
My heart has gotten attached to your sweet melodic call

Wintertime takes you far away
No pretty songs through winters day

Goodbye Songbird, Return next year
I will anxiously wait to hear

Your songs that make me settled and calm
Soothing my mind and heart a natural balm

Songbird flew away today
Goodbye is all that’s left to say
