When you’re remembered

With fond appreciation

Your heart overflows

With joy, peace, and contentment

Leaving with you more to give back

Wings flash and flutter

Rustling vibrant autumn leaves

Squirrels search for nuts

Thoughts, ever so jumbled

Much like tangled fishing line

Offers no freedom

Through such tiny openings

You’ve

By those they find lazy

And do not care

Perhaps they are jealous

Looks can be deceiving

Everyone believing

They know better
