LITTLE SPARROW

Reflections on a little sparrow.

LITTLE SPARROW
She wonders why
I look so sad.
She cannot know
the fear in me.

She would not see
just what I see.
I ponder why
there's so much pain.

The fear and hate
that fill this world
are all I see.

I only guess why it's to be
fate's left me for eternity
to struggle with
the simplest needs.

She never fears.
Her needs are met.
Her shelter, water, food and air
are always there.

She is at peace and worries not
how she will, through eternity
stay warm and safe, her babies too.
He's always there.

He knows her fears, her flights, her pain
and never lets her go so far
that His great love won't cover her.
He's always there.

The Great Provider has for all
a plan for life "both great and small",
though fear and anguish fill our hearts
He's always where we are.

He knows when every sparrow falls
and could not let this tiny soul
escape His loving, caring hold.
He's always there.

He knows when this small creature fails.
His angels care.
Great love He shares.
He's always there.
