The Owl, The Best Day

The owl, the best day,
Very interesting, I would say.
The white owl lands here,
On the arm of this fine man.

The man was a sailor;
The owl went there to
Catch his eye; giving
Him more hope than he
Could ever imagine.

Somehow the owl knew,
What the sailor had been
Through. Life brought new
Meaning; the owl's spots
Truly amazed him.

This beautiful creature;
Brought smiles for everyone
To see, a true story about
The peacefulness that the
Outstretched wings were
Bringing.

Majestic, proud, and free, the
Owl chose its destiny. Smooth
And peaceful was its flight, the
Genuine pureness of delight.

The brevity of time: The newness
Of growth captivate all wounds;
Time heals the distance by traveling
On its course.

Reached by many, I will continue to
Fulfill a dream that inspires stories
Read about their bravery.

Adventurous with wit, the wise owl
Was fit with much strength,
Guiding the sailor by giving him a
Grip on his own life.

The power of movement: His
Willingness gave him the courage
To share, and the valor he faced
Was shown by doing things for others.

The Owl, the Best Day: it proves that
A wise owl can choose the arm of a
Sailor to make a peaceful landing today.
