Chickadee a poem by Hannah Mueller
February 14, 2018
Chickadee, chickadee
Where could you be?
I have looked high
And I have looked low
I have searched the city
And I have searched the woods
But somehow
I have yet to cross you.
Your beautiful brown feathers
Serve to decorate and empower,
Your orange tinted sides
Paint a sweet, cozy picture
That brings me comfort.
When things are looking down,
I look to you, Chickadee,
My flying friend from above.
You always help lighten my mood.
Chickadee, chickadee
Where could you be?
It is winter now, isn’t it?
You are long gone
And I am left behind
I hope that wherever you are
It is just as warm
As you have made my heart
Chickadee, chickadee
I wish I had you here with me.
