ABC's of Love from a Roosters point of view

Always and Forever, I know I will be, my mama Vicky's Sweet Love, White Rooster Chugi.

Back in the day, when I was just a chick, my mama came to claim me, I was her special pick.

'Chugi' I was called, I wonder what that meant, she would whisper in my ear, 'you are my heaven sent'.

December came along, I was 3 months old, mama had a baby, we welcomed her into my home.

Everyday I'd wake up, right next to my mama, she'd give me some warm milk and cherrios and I'd gobble it up.

For 5 more months I drank to my hearts content, I became strong and healthy, smart and independent.

Good things come to those who wait, I was pretty grown up beginning month 8.

Happy to find her, I got me a hen, she gave many babies my first batch was 10.

In love with my girl I never did forget my first true love is my mama, my mama, my pet.

Just as I thought that everything was great, our home was attacked and I lost all I had, all I made.

Kisses adorned me as mama woke up to find that I was spared from all that went amock.

Loving arms never let go, I became the ONE, mama loves me, just as a son.

Mama had hard times and I was always there, drying her tears and preening her hair.

New Years would come and I'd be by her side, watching fireworks pop and getting my kiss at midnight.

On and on time went by, I wanted babies so mama hatched me out a hen and I made her my new friend.

Pretty 'Bullet' is her name, we had many babies we'd put rabbits to shame.

Quickly through the years time sped, mama at my side, Bullet on her nest bed, babies running all around, I was the happiest rooster this side of town.

Ripe years are what I had, I never got sick, I never felt hunger or thirst, all was provided but best of all was the love I had, mama's Sweet Love, it drove me mad. ;)

Special I was, I even saved mama's life, not only her's but baby Nicholas inside.

Tripping on a stone while carrying me, mama was crying too much and she couldn't see, she didn't want to give me to Ewa for a while as they were building our new house, so as she was falling I broke that fall, I saved her and Nicholas's life, no concern for myself at all, she got up all scraped and bruised and sore and kept kissing me while laying on the dirt floor.

Until this day, she knows for a fact, I am her hero, no cape no symbol, just unconditional love.

Very often I wondered when my time is to be through, how would mama make it without me, she'd be so blue.

When I injured my pelvis while jumping off my perch in April, I couldn't walk anymore and the pain was unbearable, mama was constantly at my side, through the good days and bad, I dried her tears with my feathers that's all that I had.

X marked the spot, the spot I saw myself in her, her heart with mine and mine with her's.

You'll never know this kind of love until you have it and lose it, many of us know this but many is few all brought together through what God's plan wrote anew.

Z is the final letter in my alphabet of Love, The day I left for my journey on friday, June 6th of 2008' I traveled so fast to the above. A rainbow came to pick me up on the 9th. the moment mama brought my cremains home. I watch mama cry for me on a daily basis but little does she know, Love has no spaces. This Love I feel for my human mama will stand the test of time, Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge your White Rooster Chugi will be waiting to welcome you inside.

I Love You Mama. Your Sweet Love Always and Forever, Chugi
