MY LITTLE FEATHERED FRIEND
“JACKIE SPARROW”
YOU WERE FEATHERLESS,
AND YOUR EYES WERE CLOSED,
I THINK YOU WERE ONLY, A COUPLE WEEKS OLD.
I PRAYED TO GOD, YOUR LIFE TO SPARE,
AND PUT YOU IN, MY LOVING CARE.
IT WAS A MIRACLE, THAT YOU SURVIVED AT ALL,
AND SUCH A BLESSING,
WHEN I HEARD YOUR FIRST CALL.
THE JOY AND SONG, YOU IMPRINTED ON MY HEART,
WILL ALWAYS REMAIN, AND WILL NEVER PART.
WE WERE TOGETHER, FOR SUCH A SHORT WHILE,
BUT UPON MY FACE, YOU’D PUT A SMILE.
I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOUR PRECIOUS WAYS,
AND HOW IN YOUR WATER DISH, YOU LOVED TO BATHE.
I’LL NEVER KNOW WHY,
YOUR LIFE CAME TO A SUDDEN END,
BUT, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED,
AS, “MY LITTLE FEATHERED FRIEND”
I’LL MISS YOU “JACKIE”,
FLY FREE MY PRECIOUS LITTLE ONE.
I’LL LOVE AND REMEMBER YOU ALWAYS.
