Forever Home

by Heidi Clark

Before I came to live here, I don't remember much.

I guess I choose not to look back at times that were so tough.

It was kind of cold there, in a room left all alone

Hungry, bored, and nervous, in that other home.

I really do forgive them, guess they didn't know

exactly all my needs and wants, and love I have to show.

But they were kind to give me up and you should see me now!

My eyes are bright, my feathers shine, a big new cage and Wow!

The food is good, my cage is clean, and I get lots of playtime!

They talk to me, they scratch my head, and all these toys? They're MINE!

My family now, they care enough to meet my basic needs.

But, OH, they give much more than that

and I wish they could see...

that I wish all my feathered friends had Parronts like I own.

I'm a very lucky, happy bird, in my forever home.
