So uplifting and I enjoyed the nostalgic feel of your words- felt like I was reading from the romantic period poets that I have always loved. Thank you for posting

Wonderful sentiment! Myself, I prefer the flightless kind, that can't, and wouldn't, take wing to go off.

This is absolutely gorgeous! makes me think of my dad and his love of birds and photographing them. He taught me to love them through the lens too. It brought tears, as a memory came, when he said, "I'm too weak to lift my camera," tears gently rolling down his face. He was such a tough man. His camera always laid on the kitchen table, in view of the outside bird feeders he built.

Thank you for this piece of beauty Joyce. oxoxox

Oh my gosh, Deborah, now I’m sitting here in tears. What a beautiful man your father must have been.

I could not have received a more beautiful comment. Thank you, sending you much love and big hugs 💙💫🥰🤗🤗🤗

I loved it. Dad was a good man. He was dying and he couldn't lift his camera anymore and it still chokes me to this day. My 6'2" strong dad. The birds will always remind me. Thank you again. ox

It even chokes me, so much love between you. But remember, Love Never Dies! It transcends the barrier between this life and the next. As I like to say, he sleeps in a room in your heart, door open to let love flow freely in and out. He’ll always be with you 🙏💙💫

That is beautiful and that's exactly how it feels. It's definitely open and there. I was trying to get on with the day and was remembering his "isms" - so I turned around and laid them out. I needed that and your poem. Great morning! thank you :)

What was his name Deborah?

Roy :) I just wrote about the things he used to say and this made me roll with laughter all the way through. I love how this happens when you feel that moment of sentiment and tears.

Thank you, VP. Yes, I love sparrows (no cardinals here), and actually there aren’t many birds I don’t like 💫
