The Robin and the Sparrow

Oh if I were a true poet one that could write a good rhyme I would compose a few ones and earn myself a dime. Why, I'd write about man's folly, as the robin said to the sparrow: "Why are men so stupid their minds so clouded and narrow?" The sparrow cocking his head replied: "They accumulate facts and lies, Little caring about their true intent, Alas, they are not really very wise." The robin looked at his red breast, remembering a Man on a cross, how He bled, and sighed and suffered all because of man's grace loss. The sparrow nodded and smiled. "Wisdom is not acquired by knowledge, my friend. It comes when in our lives we've failed and when we truly try to comprehend."
