Prophecy
A Sparrow’s Life
In the dawn of this new day
I watch from upon a rooftop
Observing below…trying to find
Crumbs that someone left behind.
A few wee crumbs or a small seed
Plus water for my drink
Just enough to meet my need
Refresh my mind that I may think.
I spot something on the ground
As I watch here all alone
Something still, that makes no sound
Though has a sparkle all its own.
A golden string is now in view
I fly down thinking what to do
This treasure could help build my nest
A little home, where I can rest.
I build my nest, then hunger more
So I leave to search for bread
My eyes are ready to explore
A place where I might be fed.
A crumb waits where I found the string
A great blessing bestowed to me
Before I eat, I happily sing
Thankful for this offering.
Near to me and well in sight
A bird bath, filled up to the brim
Sunlit water, my heart’s delight
I land quietly on the rim.
If one truly seeks, one shall find
And in God’s love abide
A sparrow’s life can bring to mind
How God is faithful to provide.

What a lovely, lovely poem, and so true. We feed and water our little sparrows in our backyard. Each time I see them, a spontaneous song comes forth, and I sing, "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me."
Such blessing found in the simple truth of God's forever faithfulness. As I write, I hear the joyful song of all the many birds just outside my door. Blessings today! Jody
I think it is wonderful that a sparrow is mentioned in the Bible. If God can look after a simple, common bird such as a sparrow, of course He can look after me. I throw wheat and crumbs out for the sparrows who come to our front veranda, and then silently pray that God will watch over them so that no cat will catch them....I don't pray for the bugs that the sparrows eat!....Helen
