The Owl

The owl is thought so wise to be,

as he sits on a limb of a tree.

At night from where he is said to see

all the things that a wise owl should see.

It’s strange though, as he relates to me,

in the daylight hours he visits me,

with a hoot and a hoot repeatedly.

He sits in a tree near enough to me,

so I can clearly hear his hoot,

that is a message of good things

that is soon to be. His hooting sound,

I have found is a message of

a happy event when I hear him around.

I sometimes hear him before

I get out of bed, and his greeting to me,

I know not to dread.

I start my day with a smile on my face,

because he told with his hoot

the day would be filled with happy news

that is filled with grace.
