A bird doesn't sing because he has an answer-he sings because he has a song.

Joan Walsh Anglund (A Slice of Snow A Book of Poems)
We Built a Castle Near the Rocks, we built it out of sand. Our fortress was an ice-cream box with turret, tall and grand. Our men were twigs, our gun were straws from which we'd sipped at lunch. We had the best of wars... till someone's foot went CRUNCH! [Joan Walsh Anglund]
Jack Prelutsky (Read-Aloud Rhymes for the Very Young)
Farewell, my dearest. You have but gone ahead... but I shall follow, and run, at last, again into your arms... and laugh away the years that came between.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. Often attributed to Maya Angelou in error.
Joan Walsh Anglund
My arms are empty without you! My heart cries out, lonely in the darkness, but you are not here. No tears shall bring you back into my arms again. My mothers love was not strong enough to keep you, but it is strong enough to follow and find you, though all the mists of Eternity should try to come between!

A bird does not sing because he has an answer. He sings because he has a song.
Joan Walsh Anglund (A Cup of Sun: A Book of Poems)
Self is that which dies... Spirit is that which lives... forever.
Joan Walsh Anglund (The Friend We Have Not Met: Poems of Consolation)
Death is a friend we have not met, a voice we have not heard, a face we have not seen. Death is a slipping away, a going beyond a stepping through. It is a fading, as light slips from the sky at dusk, tenderly, and with a silent beauty. It is a leaf caught in the current, too far for us to reach from shore. It is a ship setting sail at dawn, to lands we do not know, and with friends we cannot follow. It is a bird set free from a cage, flying one last flight across our horizon before we lose it to the clouds. Death is the fall of a rose, the drop of a sparrow, the sigh of a barren bough. It is a letting go, a quieting of fear, and a haven from pain. Death is a coming home after a long journey. It is a safe harbor after many storms, and a sweet quiet rest after great labor. Death is a road we have not walked. a place we have not seen, a friend we have not met. It is a going and a coming, a departure, and an arrival. an end and a beginning.
