TWO BARN OWLETS

Two barn owlets had nestled close,
Companions for a while,
With lovehearts faces there to pose,
Carefree, each with a smile...
Adorned in wondrous gold and white
And such a sight to see,
Now resting gently after flight
Across the scenery...

United by a common bond
And now it served them well,
Without a clue what laid beyond,
Like us, quite hard to tell...
They had to bide their time to grow,
To learn a thing or two,
Then separate paths each one would go,
To do what each must do...

While loneliness is kept at bay,
Each soul may still rejoice,
Until there comes that final day
When parting comes by choice...
For life goes on, with adult themes,
When childhood is no more,
Perchance to nurture greater dreams
Than all that went before...
