Today it was a so special,

in town their was a display,

a select group of people

were showing us birds of prey.

All these were rescue birds

but they all looked fit and well

then I saw the Eagle Owl,

more beauty than I can tell.

I asked if I could hold him

so he took him off his stand,

I put on the padded glove

and the bird sat on my hand.

I'm standing in amazement

as I stroke my feathered friend,

I feel at one with nature,

does this moment have to end.
