Notes About The Poem
Simplicity is taken for granted. Complication comes with the mind. Simplicity
is the result of a peaceful heart. Give me the simple heart filled with peace and faith..
The Sparrow
I walked upon a sparrow sitting on a limb,
her little feathers wet and mottled from a
spring swim, she played and picked then
shook her fragile body, stretching her head
out with a nod, she settled down, nestled,
she closed her little eyes, quietly, without worry.
As she awoke she expressed her happiness with
joyous song and weightless sigh, all the while,
I watch in awe and wonder; how nice it must be
to have a tree, to sit under, ...free, warm from
the new morning sun; Ah yes, I should like to be
a sparrow today, nothing to do but sing and pray.
