You have become the cardinal
The cardinal you love so much
You took their photos
And framed them in your house
Had statues of them littered about
Their red fuzzy heads are now yours
And Nanas brown head follows yours
You will never separate
The things you love most are now one
You and Nana follow us
Peaking at you out the kitchen window
Nestled in Susan’s pine trees
Watching us
Making sure we are safe
I barely knew you
But you follow me
To school
At home
You give me hope
You inspire me
And we love to watch for Nana and your fuzzy red heads
