This song is dedicated to Matilda the Duck. This morning for some reason, I felt compelled to go for a morning walk. I know now why I went for that walk. As I was walking I saw her lifeless body laying on the ground and I said, Oh this is just wrong. A beautiful young female Mallard duck that had apparently flown into the high powered lines during the night next to walkway I was on. Luckily, there were some planted small trees nearby with their bases covered in mulch, and I took Matilda over there and dug a hole in the mulch at the base of one of the trees and buried her there. Being an animal lover, I simply just couldn't let her go out that way. You may laugh at me and that's ok too. But I have been doing this a long time and I think anyone and any animal should have a somewhat decent burial. I think in my heart that it was more than coincidence that I went for that walk. God Bless Matilda as she goes up to the big lake in the sky.

I really want to say how much your kind words mean to me.... I think in this world a few more kind gestures is what we all need.... I think back to a song which was my favorite growing up and meant a lot to me. It was by Dionne Warwick and was called What The World Needs Now Is Love. Perhaps we all need to listen to that song and really think about the real reason we are here.

That's so sad.... I hate it when you see your favorite wildlife suddenly disappear or in this case experience a tragic death. My condolences Bantha. May Matilda rest in peace. This is a beautiful song by the way :) Reminds me of a song by lemon Jelly. I think it's called nice weather for ducks.
