With the recent announcement of our daughters engagement and her wish for a beach wedding in a warm place and separately a gift of a blown glass exotic bird sitting on a little glass perch, I wrote this:
Sweet Bird Of Paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
Such dreams you entice
Perched on your coloured glass roost
High over those you've seduced
Rocking gently in summer's breeze
Your long tail feathers tailored to please
With freedom in the skies to play
You prey upon our minds today
A shock of colour on a swaying perch
These are the people this is the church
Let bells ring out across the land
Standing barefoot in the sand
A fragile beauty scattered with rice
Visions of vivacity, oh sweet bird in paradise.
