Listening to the sparrows song, a melody so sweet,
does it only sing, to perhaps a mate to meet?
Or does it sing so I, a human with heavy heart
can find a new beginning, my own tune to impart.
High up on a willow branch, though it be not strong
it continues to put forth, rapture in it's song.
Somehow it watches the world from way up high
sings to me, as I wipe a tear from my eye.
If the sparrow can teach me a brand new melody,
and a different way that my tired eyes can see,
I will take my pen and write, perhaps even show
what I heard that day, just before the snow.
There was strength, a clear and simple tune
that lifted my spirit and drove away my gloom,
I think I saw it smile, just as it flew away,
saying, I'll be back again on a warm spring day.

Why Does The Sparrow Sing

Why Does The Sparrow Sing
Listening to the sparrows song, a melody so sweet,
does it only sing, to perhaps a mate to meet?
Or does it sing so I, a human with heavy heart
can find a new beginning, my own tune to impart.
High up on a willow branch, though it be not strong
it continues to put forth, rapture in it's song.
Somehow it watches the world from way up high
sings to me, as I wipe a tear from my eye.
If the sparrow can teach me a brand new melody,
and a different way that my tired eyes can see,
I will take my pen and write, perhaps even show
what I heard that day, just before the snow.
There was strength, a clear and simple tune
that lifted my spirit and drove away my gloom,
I think I saw it smile, just as it flew away,
saying, I'll be back again on a warm spring day.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
