The sparrow (Free verse) by woodstock20000 looking through the library window,
writing these words,
I see the tiniest little sparrow in existence.
no, no little sparrow, do not flee from me yet!
allow me to write these words! They are so important...
he is gone. he has left me.
good-bye little sparrow. God bless you! Live!
Live! Live your life, little sparrow!
beware of the cats and the hawks and the crows, and live your life,
little sparrow!
grow up some day, and raise your own little tiny sparrows, but never,
ever, ever forget to live...
Up the ladder:
A Mid-Saturday in June
Down the ladder:
Lonely Hearts

Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain."
- Dolly Parton
"Who will love a little Sparrow?
Who's traveled far and cries for rest?
'Not I,' said the Oak Tree,
'I won't share my branches with
no sparrow's nest,
And my blanket of leaves won't warm
her cold breast.'
Who will love a little Sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
'Not I,' said the Swan,
'The entire idea is utterly absurd,
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the
other Swans heard.'"
- Paul Simon
