The Bunnies in the Garden

Please don't leave us so soon.
What will we tell the bunnies in the garden?
You nurtured their trust
And now they need your comfort.
What can we tell them if you go?

What about the birds?
How can we tell them?
Perhaps they will understand
Because you longed to soar with them
And you did
For a brief moment.

Why did you leave us so soon?
And how can we tell the bunnies in the garden?
