Special Note to Carrie,
It has been a wonderful encounter all these years
Thanks to you Ma'am, to Chrissa and Shay. Had 
always looked forward to seeing you all in the 
Muse. Will miss all of you dearly!  -  from Hank

A bird soaring high, and carefree
No cage, no chain can hold its wings
As it spreads them wide and sings

Songs to carry it as it glides by
Nature's instinct as its guide
A symphony of music, its pride

We live our lives too, never to deny
The opportunities that come our way
To soar higher, day by day

With strength, and a hopeful eye
Being free like a bird in the sky
Is a gift to cherish, as we try

  1. First I want to thank you for your sweet words Hank! You have been another wonderful presence at the Muse, and I want to thank you too. I have to say this poem is one of your finest my friend! I love the beautiful message it holds and the rhyme is lovely! Birds do always represent the beauty of freedom.

  2. I agree with Carrie. This poem is one of your best. It sings - and soars. Very lovely.

  4. This is a rush to read first thing on a Sunday morning. :) Good mix of rhyme and the sense that these could shift into lyrics in a heartbeat.
