Original Poem on back by Lizzy Love
In the warm summertime heat
sits the beautiful owl
isn’t she sweet

perched up in the tree
she sees and hears all
just out of sight
these old trees are quite tall

a splish and a splash
she sees the kids all swimming
chirp chirpidy chirp
she hears the birds all singing

she’s the watcher and guardian of all I’ve heard
theirs nobody else quite like that wise old bird!
