There is a female cardinal
Eating on my bird feeder everyday
In my mind I love to believe it is my Grandma's spirit
Allowing me to thank her for all she had to say
Some in words, some in smiles
At times just squeezing my hand
Her touch soothed my soul
She always knew how to make me feel complete
She is a key piece that has made be become whole
I was not thankful enough to her while she was alive
In my heart I knew she understood
To this day the love she embedded
Is the love that gives me strength to strive
Red headed cardinal
Fill your belly full
Perhaps you will grow such strength
Fly so high
Become a beam
Celestial light
Within the realm of the sky
