My Little Song Sparrow

My Little Song Sparrow

 

Among my favorite birds of the year

Marches the little song sparrow

Singing her song of cheer

Almighty singer

Song so sweet

Oh how her song gives me such a treat

 

Every day I see her there

Twittering through the shade

Searching for a little snack

From the crumbs the other sparrows make

 

I fell in love with her and the way she hides

But today it was different

She didn’t hide at all

Stretching her neck up and down until she looked tall

 

A few bites of food in her bill

Searching everywhere

Over one rose bush and up the ivy wall

She doesn’t care if I’m here, she doesn’t care at all

 

Sitting on the fence post

Posing on the porch

I feel like she is hunting for something

Maybe more lunch?

 

She flew by my garden rocker

Just fluttering those wings

I wish she would drop that piece of food

So I could hear her sing

 

Then all of a sudden from the dogwood tree came a little flutter

A little tiny song sparrow, with wings in the know

Came and sat in front of me,

what a beautiful show

 

That mommy flew right up to him

Face to face, beak to beak,

she fed him his lunch

and me, I got to watch him eat

 

Now I feel like I’m in tune with God

I felt the sprinkles of his love

I know that I have been touched

With something special from above
