When a loved one leaves our earthly plain, They may not make it back again, But clever tactics have been learned, To show us we have not been spurned, They drop a feather in our path, It flutters down, though not by draft, And judging by their pretty colour, They don't belong, they're sent from others, I always pick my feathers up, They fill my heart with lots of love, Proves those who've passed, are still around, These gifted feathers on the ground.
