Oh Sparrow!

Oh sparrow,
So freely you flitter around,
No cares, no worries surround,
So delightful your chirping sound,
You don’t care.

Oh sparrow,
Why can’t we be like you?
Just flying like nothing’s true,
In those skies so serene blue.
Why can’t we?

Oh sparrow,
You amaze me at every sight,
You only make my mornings bright,
Now I feel like setting things right,
As it should be.

Oh sparrow,
What has never been said,
About you in your glorious stead.
Your path we want to tread,
Your elegant path.

Oh sparrow,
Teach us to overthrow our fear,
Believe in God our Saviour,
He’ll be there like no other peer.
Just like you, also for me.

  6. I like the rhythm of your poem. Somehow it reminds me of the innocence in John Donne's "The Lamb". It shows your immense faith in God by way of a simple sparrow.
