Lieselore the shy squirrel

The image tells the story

Lieselore once was gifted

As a pet

Yet

Adored in her stay

A day in May

Window open

She hopin'

Hopping to be free

The ultimate key

Two years she lived in a nearby tree

Neighbourhood - play-feed-see

Spirited shy mysterious beast

Local hero - abundant feast

Today we celebrate in glory

Her presence in story

The physical body no longer here

Her spirit lights up hearts over there

Full disclosure

The story is true

I have been fascinated by squirrels

For decades

everyone has a squirrel story

I request you to freely share

As in many ways

This animal bright

Is a guiding light
