Like the sparrow

I know it ain't easy
Walking this straight and narrow
When the worries of the world
Cut to the marrow
Always dodging slings and arrows
But what about the sparrow

It never feels like winning
When life just won't play fair
But when there's nothing left to lose 
He is with you there 
In the place you call empty 
He fills it up, He's everywhere

Like the sparrow
You will fly 
I know your heart is heavy
But look up to the blue sky 
Let His love lift you 
Like the sparrow
You will fly

amongst the detritus and cerebral flatulence that permeates my collection of words - I write a God poem now and then. I'm no psalmist. But sometimes....this broken soul remembers flight.

Love this poem! The reminder is powerful.
(I have terrible English skills but I’m sure that is the wrong butt in the first section.)

Good eye Melinda. It was the wrong butt. That's why I always recommend a writer utilize multiple sets of eyes - because whatever I write is complete in my head so I don't even see holes, typos etc even when looking for them. Thanks

Thank you my sweet sister. Not calling you out or anything but you are the "childhood friend" mentioned on the story page. :)

    Honestly, I started writing poems in 1982 because I wasn't a very good singer. Some things never change.
