The Sparrows Friend

The last leaf did fall,
winter clouds bring the first storm. Earth rest in slumber. Most birds have gone south. Cold winter winds staying now, sparrows search for food. Some have black and white crowns, some just two tone brown. They hide in the trees. Sun is bright, cold day, rest upon Earths frozen crust. The water is frozen. Birds seek human friends to feed and keep fresh water, with help they survive.

Yes, as do millions of human lives around this world; whom seek caring and compassionate friends and people; that they themselves may survive; many, sadly, if even only another day!? Yet somehow; within someway; I believe that Your write here was pointing to something such as this!? Wonderful compassion and love filled write Judy Riley!:)~"Love & Warmth To 'You & Yours,' John!!"~Have A Glorious Day Dear~Bye!:)
