Personal note from Leslie Parrilla (She requested this before her passing)

I Will Try by Mary Oliver

I will try.
I will step from the house to see what I see
and hear and I will praise it.
I did not come into this world
to be comforted.
I come, like red bird, to sing.
But I'm not red bird, with his head-mop of flame
and the red triangle of his mouth
full of tongue and whistles,
but a woman whose love has vanished
who thinks now, too much of roots.
and the dark places.
where everything is simply holding on.
But this too, I believe, is a place
where God is keeping watch
until we rise, and step forth again, and-
but wait. Be still. Listen!
Is it red bird? Or something
inside myself, singing?
