Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Armando Lopez poem )
THE TIRED WHITE HERON
( For a friend now gone )
Copyright © 2008 - mickterry.com

The tired white heron,
from his vantage point up the river bank
above the rest of the flock,
one leg extended,
one leg tucked up beneath his wing,
looks over his friends
and smiles,
then laughs.
