Treasure Of The Song Bird

Though the song bird departs
Always the trill remains
Though vistas be brief
Always images remain
Though encounters pass
Always experience remains
Though our loved ones leave
Always their presence remains
Whence they visit matters not
To what haven they journey matters less
‘Tis enough our angels came
For always their love we have
And their songs to treasure
Though the song birds depart

In tribute to our earthly angels who departed too early: Aliyah Precious Persaud (2/2000 – 3/2008) and Martina Jenessa Persaud (8/2007 – 2/2015). RIP.
