From your hospital bed

you stare out the window

at the empty bird feeder

unaware that the chirping you hear

comes from your satellite radio.

    I realized that your posts were no longer in my reader. Clearly someone (one of my children…grrrrr) inadvertently unfollowed you!!! I so enjoy your work and missed your daily poem! Okay, problem solved; I’m back and following. It’s amazing; you hand your child your iPhone to watch My Little Pony, and, suddenly, one of your favorite blogs is off your reader! Love bird song!

    I’d love to know the back story…this is a very sad poem to me.
