Our Squawk....well what can I say! Aptly named and absolutely barmy, he was a wonderful pet.
When we first got him, we recorded a tape of us all saying "Hello Squawk!" over and over, which he
started to repeat, along with other phrases!
He loved coming out of his cage and flying to a mirror we had on the wall, to admire and talk to
himself for hours. He also liked to fly onto our heads and peck our hair(!) or even to your finger
if you held out your hand and called him.
He loved music and his favourites were The Honeycombs - "Is it because" and "Have I the Right"
(hence the reason for the music here on Squawk's page). He danced like mad to these tracks!
As mentioned on Patch's page, Squawk imitated Dad's horn for his bike, and this confused us as well
as Patch, as we thought it was Dad returning from work, but no, it was Squawk!
A wonderful budgie, he had a long life and is missed very much. R.I.P Squawkie. xxx

Night falls,
but day dawns to replace it...
Grief comes,
but time will ease the pain...
Life ends,
but death cannot erase it...
In memory,
love always will remain.
There are those
whose lives
death cannot diminish.
Their love radiates
forever in the hearts
of friends
and loved ones,
and their light shines on
in the lives
they've touched
for so many years.

*~*~* MY PRECIOUS SQUAWK *~*~*
You slipped away
We had to part
God eased your pain
But broke my heart
unknown
Letting go of you
I know I have to let you go.
How I will I do not know.
I know that it's your time to die.
What I don't know is how to say goodbye.
I'll miss you so much I don't know what to do.
I guess I'll just end this poem with a goodbye and an I love you.

A Rainy Day
Things are not as bad
As they now may seem to be
Your life will still go on
Even though it’s without me
These are not tears of sadness
On this day of rain
Please look at them as tears of joy
For I am now free of pain
You cannot know the freedom
Or the peace that I now feel
I hope this is some comfort
As you all now learn to deal
The battle now is over
And in many ways I’ve won
While you might think it is raining
I am warm amidst the sun

Summerlands
Just the other side of death's curtain are the Summerlands. All the pets who have died go through this curtain and though they can still watch us, we can't see them. Sometimes the curtain is thin in places and we catch a glimpse of our lost companion waiting on the other side. Sometimes the curtain twitches as they look through at us and we can feel them or feel a sudden draft as the curtain falls back into place. The Summerlands exist in the long, lazy late afternoons of an eternal golden summer of remembered childhood; the time when everything seems most alive and sweetest smelling. Our animals are young again and turned to perfect health. There is always space and time to play and love, places to be with others and places to be alone together. When our time comes, the curtain is lifted from our eyes and we can see the Summerlands ourselves. Waiting there for us are the animals and people we loved in life and we can see them clearly at last. The time has come for us to move away from the curtain and renew these interrupted friendships. Sometimes we can't help but take a peek through the curtain just to see how our own loved ones are doing before they come to join us.

Do you think?.............
Do you think that I am over it
Better than before
Maybe I've forgotten
Doesn't hurt me anymore?
♥
Do you think that I am doing fine
No tears are shed each day
Get up and just get going
Pain has all but gone away?
♥
Do you think that I am coping
Living life just as you do
If that's what you imagine...
You don't have a single clue.
♥
I cope, I cry, and I deny
I've learned how I must hide
Keep everything within me
Bottled up deep down inside.
♥
I can't be who I was before
I've changed I'm someone new
It happens when you have a loss
You would be different too.
♥
I'm so misunderstood each day
To tired to explain
Not over it, or better
Simply put... I'm not the same.
♥
And will never be because you left me.

Some day there will be no tears,
For they will be wiped away.
I will hold on to that promise.
As I live each and everyday.
Someday we will meet again,
Though heaven keeps us apart.
For you will always be with me,
I shall carry you in my heart!
Someday we will share joy again,
When I join you in eternity.
But for now you will always be to me,
A precious memory.

To See You Once Again
Josette Kerns
I wish with all my heart I could see you once more,
I would use that moment and time to tell you how
Much love my heart holds for you and I shall never
Close that door.
Life each and every day with out you keeps going on
Even if some days I do not wish it I know I am being
Selfish and maybe even wrong, but to see you just once
More I so very much long.
I try to remember all the loving and happy times we
Were granted to enjoy and share, I try to understand
And not cry but to see you once more even only for a
moment to let you know just how very much I do care.
I know that day will eventually come when its my turn
To this world to say goodbye, But until then I shall hold
your love close to my heart, and sometimes I shall break
Down and cry, and I will still ask the question why did you
have to die?
Rainbows appear only on dreary, rainy days.
They beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments, however, can be spectacular.
YOU were our brief rainbow.
You entered our life
And stayed but a short while.
Nonetheless, the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with laughter and delight,
Joy and smiles,
Charm and beauty,
Gaiety and silliness,
Sunlight and moonbeams,
Giggles and love (ad infinitum)...
Made the deluge,
The tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear,
Insanity and agony,
Sadness and heartbreak,
Emptiness and loneliness
Bearable
Rainbows, however brief,
Make the world a brighter, lovelier place.
How grateful we are that we had you,
Our brief rainbow.

Beautiful Squawk. xxx
Littlest Angel of Mine
(by Terri Onorato)
I was adrift on waves of feelings
swirling circles about my mind
wondering if I had the strength
to decide it was your time.
Did I have the right to make this choice
that would change our lives forever,
did I have the will to sacrifice
our precious time together?
Was I wrong in thinking of myself
while you grew so frail and weak,
was I selfish in my desperate need
to have you here with me to keep?
Into your bright green eyes I searched
and found within your soul,
the echo of a far-seen wisdom
the kind which only angels know.
You gently rocked my broken heart
and with angelic calm
you lifted all the guilt I felt
for wanting to hold on.
You showed me that the choice with which
I felt so wrecked and torn
lay upon a path God paved
the day that you were born.
Somehow you made me understand
the choice was never mine,
it had been appointed long before,
in another place and time.
So as I lay you down to sleep
your eternal spirit shines
and our paths will cross again someday
littlest angel of mine.
