Little sparrow in your flight
do you long to see the world?
Or are you mightily content
with your corner of the world?
Do you sing your lullaby
or romantic song of love
for all your feathered friends to enjoy
or merely your special one?
As you sit upon your tree branch
high above the earth
are you waiting for your loved one
or observing from your perch?
Do you know your exquisite feathers
the strength in your melodious sound
your soft, delicate stature
bring joy to those you are around?
Continue in your flight
share your precious songs
and know you give us peace
wondrous dainty one.
