It’s been so many years

And I can’t get any of them out of my mind

I see them every day

And it’s not just in my mind.

Sometimes there’s a bird

A cardinal in brilliant red

They always manage to catch my eye

But that’s just Ed.

Sometimes there’s a bird

A majestic hawk in the sky

It’s hard not to watch

As Mike flies by.

Then there’s the feeling

Of someone always by my side

I don’t know why I’m so blessed

To have Richard right by my side.

Sometimes they get playful

Sometimes they stand in my way

I just tell them to knock it off

And go on my merry way.

I don’t know what I’ll do

If there ever comes a day

When three of the most important men

Decide to go away
