This poem is about my dad and is eccentricities.

"MAY THE BIRDS BE WITH YOU!"

He has a strange sense of humor
And he stated things quite peculiar
He told tall tales and sang old songs
Lives in a world in which only he belongs

Never knew what he would say
Or how he'd greet the day
"May the birds be with you!"
"Have a special day too."

Are a few things he would say
And you can make of it, what you may
Most would laugh at first
Some would think the worst

I would think of Bluebirds, to sing
Of the happiness they would bring
To put a song in someone's heart
What a great way for the day to start

"May the birds be with you!"
Do you now have a clue,
Has the meaning come unfurled?
He's wishing you happiness and all that's good in the world!

Kitty Cat, I think this is absolutely delightful (and, of course, being an owl, I especially love the expression)! How lucky you are to have such a father and I am very happy for you. I would love somebody to say that to me. If you and your dad don't mind (and I am sure neither of you will, especially as I am going to quote my source), I am going to find at least one person somewhere, some time, to say that to - somebody not only worthy, but also who will understand and most of all appreciate it - and I will choose that person/those people carefully.

Owl - Glad you liked my Dad's quotes. Go right ahead and pass it on! My Dad will be thrilled that he inspired someone. May the birds be with you!

Great song, with a message of another built-in.
Love is the key to living, and when it comes natural, all the better!
Beautiful sentiment.

Aaaah! Somebody said it to me! Thank you Kitty Cat. Beeeg smiles. I wasn't hinting. (I don't ever - I choose asking outright over hinting.)

I have found my first person to say it to! I told you I would choose very carefully!

Kitty Cat, may the birds be with you!!!
