The Tiny Heart

A little sparrow,
Chirped and jumped
Around his friend
Still and cold
In hopes of warmth.

With every leap,
A plea to thrive
He turned and twirled.

The little sparrow,
Seeking help beneath
The fading light,
Chirped and jumped.

(Based on a true event.)

This is so descriptive and so well written in such a creative and engaging manner, so sad the ending too. Felt this. Sending you light always

Great poem - sad, but interesting that a sparrow would do that.
