The Bantam Trio
Lightning was a little banny rooster,
and he was a beautiful bright red.
He had two little bantam friends,
but now all three are dead.
Gloria was a little brown hen,
and was a rare color 'twas said.
She and her friends played together,
but now all three are dead.
Honey was a pretty white rooster,
and his merry life was led.
But one morning there was a calamity,
and now all three are dead.

In 2008 we bought three bantam chicks, Gloria died within a few months, the second, Honey, died shortly after, but Lightning the red rooster died this afternoon. We were all sad.
We are sorry for your loss! That was a beautiful poem Helena!

A nicely written tribute for a little feathered creature!
