You sit in the cabinet
Pristine and untouched
Gathering dust
We used to celebrate
Together
Birthdays, anniversary’s
Valentine’s day
Now there is no celebration
You have no use for me
I long for the day when you’re happy again
And you fill me with velvet red wine
Or sparkling chardonnay

Large eyes
Heart-shaped face
Powerful talons
Impressive wings
Sound of your call
Whispered leaves
Creatures hide
Away from sight
You silently fly
Ready to pounce
Infinite wisdom
Magic abounds

Count your blessings and follow your dreams
Live as if tomorrow will never come
For none of us know how long we will have
Tell everyone you love them, life's too short
to waste a minute or hold any grudge
Try everything and never live in fear
For we shouldn't regret what never was
And what never, never, never will be
