Description: I wrote this for my beautiful Sun Conure, Buddy, while he was fighting for his life. He was my everything. Without him I feel lost and broken. I was lucky and honored to be the one to take care of him. He had only love to give to me. I wish I could describe just how amazing he was.
Unfortunately, a short while after I wrote this, I had to make the best decision for him, as I said in this piece "I'll lay you down with your bright and broken feathers." And so I did. He is no longer suffering. Rest in Peace, my sweet, handsome angel.

Staring out the window after more bad news
Tried to act like it wasn't going to phase me
Was told you needed someone to care for you
But how could that someone ever be me
Waited a while before I took you home
I just watched you while you screamed at me
There was no way I could have ever known
Just how much you were gonna need me
You need me now more than ever
You're more than under the weather
And if for some reason you can never get better
I'll lay you down with your bright and broken feathers
And hold you deep inside my heart forever and ever
I told you that you're my handsome little boy
And I'm thinking you can stay for a long while
I let you out of that old rusty broken cage
And you showed me your beautiful permanent smile
How could you be so wonderful to me
When you had no reason to trust anybody
And how could you so sweetly kiss me on the cheek
Like we've been best friends forever, my Buddy
You need me now more than ever
You're more than under the weather
And if for some reason you can never get better
I'll lay you down with your bright and broken feathers
And hold you deep inside my heart forever and ever
It always makes me smile to see your little face
To imagine life without you just makes me cry
But if that day comes, I will hold you in my arms
And with a kiss on the beak I will say a last goodbye
You need me now more than ever
You're more than under the weather
And if for some reason you can never get better
I'll lay you down with your bright and broken feathers
And hold you deep inside my heart forever and ever
But I need you now more than ever
I'm more than under the weather
And if for some reason I can never get better
You'll wrap me in your wings with your bright and broken feathers
And hold me deep inside your heart forever and ever
Sweet and heartfelt. I'm sorry for your loss. Fur/feather babies are some of the best people in the world; I know what if feels like to lose an animal friend.
May Buddy's sunshine yellow memories warm your soul..
