a bluebird flies
off course
through a window
of Sunshine Nursing Home
she lands in an empty bedpan
and then pecks at
Fred's head

she is frustrated
but becomes interested
in this strange place
so she sings to the
residents
her best tunes
the songs approved
by heaven

the residents and
staff admire her
beauty and voice
her presence is
joyful

a nurse opens a
window
and off she soars
but the feeder placed
outside entices her
to stay
so Sunshine Nursing Home
has a blue resident
who sings from the heart
and heaven and earth connect
in a place of music and
a wayward bluebird
who finds her home
