It is freezing out here. My feet are

clinging to the shingles as I sit all

alone. I dare not open my beak to sing

a song. I have no friends or loved ones

to share; only the warmth of the chimney

for my despair. It is beginning to sleet.

I silently wait for the mistress to come

out from her suite;In the cold to share.

�There you are my little friend.� � Look what

I brought you today.� �It�s your favorite

food you see.� � Eat your fill for a long

and cold night waits for thee.� I eat my

fill and return to the roof. What lonely

hours I wait. The sun is going down,my

heart full of dread . Once again it�s

fate. A sparrow alone on the rooftop.

I am the mistress of the house . I have no

friends or loved ones to share .The warmth

of the fireplace is my only comfort in my

despair. As I sit here alone in my room;

the thought of the long hours ahead brings

me gloom. I long for someone to hold me,

but those days have long been passed.

All my loved ones have gone on before me;

I am the last. Old age and the toil of this

fate has made me so very cold. Just like the

sparrow alone on the rooftop; my life has

been told.

Hi there, I enjoyed your story. I read the other one that you wrote eariler, and I liked the "cornbread" that was given to the sparrow, and I liked the way the first one ended, ...will anyone notice the woman. The sparrow did notice her, and there was some hope for companionship.:)
