and what difference does one make, you ought to know the joy of the one

We would like to share this wonderful poem
with you. It was written by our friend, Michael L. Graham AKA
Graehstone who also writes the poems for the Parrots At Play Calendar.
We would like to thank Graehstone for allowing us to publish this poem
here on our site. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do...
We Are But Their Keepers
by Graehstone
Caged
and restrained, hobbled and curtailed,
That is what it’s like to be of the living dead.
Longing not for freedom but for life to no avail,
And that is the future for them that I dread.
They are naught like others you and I know
They are another breed apart,
A new species if you will, and so
Will not only steal but rather break your heart.
What must it be like to sit all day and stare
At the far off places just beyond their reach,
And not be embraced by sorrow and despair.
So we hear the anguished voices as they beseech
Not only us, but the fates that placed them here,
To beg of them that it will end
To give them peace and remove the fear,
That no new souls will us the humans send.
For it is their dream that perhaps one day
Our appreciation of them will only get deeper
When we will never again have to say,
We are but their keepers.
