Dear Stella (or Sally — I never could really tell you apart),
We lost you too soon
To an unseen danger in the woods.
I was supposed to keep you safe, but I failed.
And I am sorry.
You were a very good and honorable chicken;
Loyal, patient, and productive.
For this we are grateful.
Your sisters — both chicken and human — miss you,
And so do I.
Rest peacefully, chicken friend.
