When I feel blue,

I think of you,

and my sadness slips away.

Your rust-colored breast

brings me peace and rest.

Your songs–they soothe

me throughout the day.

You tuck your head

as if to bow and pray.

I notice each blue-hue

is in its perfect place,

lined side by side,

and elegantly groomed.

I watch you closely,

You watch me, too.

I hold my breath, and wait.

I see a twinkle

within your eye.

This is my lucky day!

You lift your head

up towards the sky.

The music flows, and

I come back to life!
