Finding a Feather

Are there birds where you are 
do they have names 
do they land on your shoulder sometimes  
or hop alongside you on a sunny day 

do they have bright gold feathers  
that rival the sun 
and in the soft light of early morning 
do you listen for them in the garden 
do they sing you a song

Aww, I loved this poem but now that I see the dedication it's even that much sweeter.
Beauty and love shouldn't be complicated. I love the simplicity of your poem.
You say so much, so eloquently, with only a few well chosen words.
I truly and sincerely adore this.

So beautiful. My grandma passed away when I was nineteen, but I still have very fond memories of her and her beautiful, peaceful garden. I expect she's still listening to birdsong.

Thanks so much Beccy. Means a lot. Glad you could relate. Grandmas are wonderful blessings. :)

This is a wonderful way to connect with your Grandma.It may so happen that the same birds
display their beautiful feathers and sing song in front of you at some time and do the same to your Grandma at other time.
Very lovely thoughts for a beloved Grandma.
Thank you Jennifer for sharing such a heartfelt work.
