I'll Listen for You

Today my neighbor waltzed over and rang the doorbell like any other day. He's a talkative fella so sometimes I dread being cornered by him. I'm so glad I ignored my selfish side and opened that door to hear his news. His wife died last week and I didn't get to say goodbye. He nor I knew she was in such bad shape. This is for her.

A swoosh of wind blew by

it captured my teary eyes.

It was like you were there

with your red curly hair.

Your song floated in the wind

through a hidden feathered friend.

Makes me feel good to know

you're out of pain in your new home

and I plan to see you again

'til then I'll listen for you in the wind.
