Joe--By Jack Horne--England

Joe

Before we met that winter day,
The world was empty, sad and dull;
His presence took the gloom away
And now my life’s returned to full;
I lost my heart and find it strange
A tiny bird can bring such change.

* For my mother’s canary

  2. Dear Jack,

    Love this poem you wrote about Joe. The unconditional love that pets can bring to one's heart is a gift in itself. So glad you wrote this my friend.

    Love Sandra

  3. Dear Jack, you experienced so much loss last winter. It's wonderful that this tiny (albeit rotund as you told me earlier) bird can make such a difference in your life. I love hearing about the adventures of Joe. I bet your Mum has gotten very attached to him as well. Love to you, Mum and Joe, Carolyn D.
