QUAKER

GOFFIN'S COCKATOO'S

When we asked Angie what her favorite birds are, this was her response:

"Humm my favorite birds??? That is such a hard one.  I have been thinking for over an hour on this one because I really do not have a favorite at all, not even a dream bird. But I do enjoy the Quakers for their sassy attitude.  They are fun and full of themselves. Also, the Goffin's Too- they are hams and babies who love to be spoiled rotten.  They love to tease and get into trouble, like the Quakers."

Second Hand Bird

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm . . . Yes there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?
