a robin came to say hello

As wind blows on the air
and waters fish the sea
the birds, they do watch over us
their song, of love’s for thee

When ice it comes to greet us
to cool our calming sea
and sky as clear as love bird’s sweet singing voice
then water’s rain will be

Our rabbit died today, i wrote this for him. he was beautiful, warm and cuddly, cute and friendly, he is already sadly missed.

I usually feed the birds in my garden on the top of a make do barbeque, it was just opposite the rabbit hutch and although i’ve seen the robin many times in the back garden, today is the first time this year i’ve seen him, and today is the first time he’s come to the front garden instead of the back. He hovered right in front of it, circled the window and left. Thumper, or ‘cloud’ or ‘two tails’ as we used to call him was grey and cute and fluffy and we want him back. His partner died some time ago and left thier litter of week old baby rabbits in need of being hand reared. They were wonderful, little bundles of fluff. Sadly one by one they too were taken. My heart went out to the little guy and whenever i felt sorry for myself i would think of him. We used to bring them all into the utility room over winter, but this year as he was on his own i borrowed a really good cage and i brought him into the living room, we kept each other company whilst the snow covered the ground. Having recently become severley disabled, i now (untill adaptations have been done) sleep in the living room. Sometimes we would let him have a run around and one night we forgot to put him back in his cage, i woke up in the morning to see him right in front of my nose, any closer and he would have been kissing me.
will miss you loads, little guy, lots of love, mum and connor and i think also, the robin, x
