I'm an owl minding my own biz,
Flying o'er a meadow, and see
This human guy below. He is
A bunch of flowers cutting be,
...
I am called Wisdom and I be
The oldest wild bird that be known.
1951 - who hatched? Me!
Over three million miles I've flown.
...
Sitting alone on a bench, I
Waited for the bus now quite late.
Every few minutes I would sigh,
Bemoaning my unlucky fate.
...
I watch my comrades one by one,
Leaves leaving the limbs we have known.
Our season's over and done.
I take this last trip of my own,
...
When I was younger I did try
To end my life by suicide.
I thought it better if I die,
Better for loved ones if I died.
...
During each day I try to find
Some time and place to sit in peace,
Empty the clutter from my mind,
Let ills temporarily cease,
...
I am a leaf that came in spring,
And take my place with many more.
It is just a natural thing.
But there are times I've yearning for
...
Our first anniversary,
We listened to the music of
This music box you gave to me,
'Anniversary Song' of love.
...
I went to a Starbucks and did
Order some coffee which I got.
Walking away, off popped the lid.
I felt pain from spilt coffee hot.
