Songbird

Songbird is inspired from a photo taken on the way to my Father In Law’s funeral. These gentle creatures visited often as if to sing a song and pay their respects. As if to say, “For you, there will be no more crying. For you, the sun will be shining, like never before.” Dedicated to Robert Forrister.
