Bye for now.

Today we laid you to rest.
You looked nothing of yourself,
but the parlor did their best.
They didn't have much to work with.
You had withered away.

The casket was beautiful.
perfect and simple.
Just like you.

Something remarkable happened today as well.
As we walked into the parlor, heads down and tears falling--
I noticed a single songbird perched on the car.
I stopped in my tracks.
Even as I walked close it didn't fly away.
Sure, it could have been coincidence..
But I believe it was you.

Telling us that you are okay.
Telling us not to worry.
That this is not goodbye for good..
Just Bye For Now.
