Wise Owl
Wise Owl in the tree
What do you see?
Do you see the woman
slaving over dinner,
And the man who long
ago strived to win her?
Do you see an
ancient love in their eyes?
Do you see the flame
as it dies?
Wise Owl in your
tree,
What is it that you see?
I blink my eyes, and
the owl replies:
I see the love the
woman holds for he,
and the love the man
holds for she.
I see a couple, worn
and weary
Growing old but
still quite cheery
The flame they share
is still there
God has created them
as a pair
Now young child do
you see
Destined love lasts
for centuries
