Seen a few top Poems lately on the forum . found this one up in my Keep folder....
NATURE'S LOAN
I'll lend you for a little while,
A beautiful hawk of mine
For you to care for and enjoy
For an unknown period of time.
The years, they may be ten or
More, or his days they may be few.
But will you, `til I want him back,
Treasure him as I do?
He brings with him my secret truths
And though his demeanor's wild,
You'll form a bond most unique
Like a parent with a child.
I can't say how long the loan will be,
Since all from Earth must return,
But with each day there's lesson
