ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
Over the years we shared our lives with you
How we loved your stories about your fids
Your pictures took us into your home as well
We felt so welcome there amidst the fun and laughter
We fell deeply in love with your flock
The queen, the princess, the lord and Baby, too
Of course we loved the keets and terrible Baby Blue
We mourned to learn of the death of beautiful Mitch
We also loved you, Anne, so real, always eager to help
We were there for you through your illnesses and prayed for your healing
We watched you struggle to make ends meet
Yet, we never heard complaint at your lot in life
I suppose now that you have left us of a broken heart
We ache for our loss, the loss of a family member
The loss of your flock whom we had adopted
We mourn for the injustice, your aloneness, your loss
If only you could have known how much we cared
If you could have lived to receive all our cards sent to you
How stunned we were to read of your death
Though one may have turned away and turned you out
There are hundreds who love you and your flock
Who have grieved for you and your precious babies
And you shall always be with us here in spirit
You, Mitch, Sam, Maxwell, Baby, Baby Blue and the rest.....
Abiding always, with us.
Juanita and all your friends at Tiel Chat
