Poem written by grandson Marcus Williams Jr

Pretty Bird
Gracefully you spread your wings and took me through any weather.
The sun will rise again left for us to bask in, but life just felt so much better when we were together.

Pretty Bird
So selfishly I want to hold on to you forever knowing the things you're capable of..
You've lead the flock, you provided protection, instilled strength through christ, & taught us how to fly.

Pretty Bird
You're bigger than the universe.
You're bigger than the sun and the stars.
You're bigger than anything left in this world, you took a piece of me with you, my heart.

Pretty Bird
When I forget how to fly, I think of you.
When I forget how to love, I think of you.
When I forget how to live, I think of you.
When I forget how to be strong, I think of you.
When I forget that I'm not alone, I think of you.

Pretty Bird.
Fly away. Fly away.
I think of you everyday.

Pretty Bird.
Fly away. Fly away.
I'll see you again someday.

Pretty Bird.
Fly away. Fly away.
I love you with everything I have in me, Happy Birthday ♥️
