I Am Watching a Mother Sparrow
i am watching a mother sparrow
feed her offspring, we are blessed
by this innate ubiquitous nature
it is by the mother's breast
comes the promise
God still believes in us
it is that time of year
i scatter seeds several times a day
not only do i derive pleasure
from feeding and watching the birds
but also deep within is mom's voice
if He knows when a sparrow falls
He also knows who feeds them
we need the brownie points
make yourself known to Him
Jesus taught about sparrows
altho they were a common item
not valued much by humans
God has unconditional love for them
proving it is not a station in life
color of one's feathers that matters
so as i watch a mother feed her baby
i wear a smile, because as they lift off
those feathered wings ascend to heaven
there go some more of those
brownie points mom talked about
let me be the first to admit
i need quite a lot of brownie points
when the see no longer sees, there is
where mother's hand has been waiting
watching you accrue brownie points
