Companion
I sit every morning in my patio
And as I sip my morning tea
A russet sparrow in its glory
Comes to sit by me
She twitters and twitters incessantly
As if to tell her tale
With a radiant glow in her eyes
She perches amidst the rails
Once a while she nibbles
Into the plate of grain I give
Hopping and springing she wanders
Picking some twigs and leaves
I talk to her at random
She nods as if she understands
Then pauses and patters so keenly
Like a very trusted friend
I love her sweet company
Hope she does it too
A tiny little birdie she is
With shades of black grey hue
I enjoy the moments so dearly
I long to be one like her
To be ignorant of all the worldly sorrows
And just be happy as you are
