Remembrance Robin Poem by Della Perry

I remembered you well within my heart
You were always the best, that will never part
On a winter's morn, looking out into the wood
Recalling your face, your unyielding love
Sat on a bough, in his best dress
Was the little brown bird with a red breast
I can't deny that you are gone
But within that robin I know you live on.
For every time I hear his tiny wings
I remember you and your quirky things.
Sometimes he lands on my windowsill
And with a wink of his eye
I know you're with me still.
