I watch the cold light of January
from the warmth of my room
Imagine I am the small sparrow
sitting atop the roof in the gloom.
I see the magic from his tiny eyes
the world is a garden of wonder
a place where anything is possible
where endless dreams can wander.
in the briefest twitch of a muscle
I can take wing in ecstatic flight
over the tallest purple mountain
and dip with the fadingsunlight.
The shackles of life in my room,
may hold me coldly forever it seems
but the window allows me to share
in the freedom of a sparrows dreams.

As God marks the sparrows fall, so is he watching over you June dear, in your little room.  Love, Joyce
