ARE WE ALL JUST LITTLE SPARROWS?
Michelle A. Bartley
June 13, 1997


I will not sit a squabble about who's God is right,
I will not sit and argue over who has seen the light.
For all of us have deep within a special little place,
Far from this reality, removed from time and space.

A secret little closet hidden deep within our hearts,
Where doors to heaven open and we can be a part,
Of all the love that freely flows if only we would see,
And take hold of the golden cord to set our spirits free.

So many gifts we're given, we don't even realize,
We chase after illusions which we can idolize.
Never giving credit or thanks where it is due,
We hide from our creator and stay safely out of view.

Like sparrows safe within the flock of others all around,
Too afraid to enter in where light and love is found.
We follow nature's courses set for us at our birth,
Minding rules of instinct which bind us to this earth.

I will not fly in panic when sudden change takes place,
I will not forget the loving kindness placed before my face.
For even though I feel the fear of the great unknown,
I'll make attempts to love and trust the light I have been shown.

I'll calm my trembling little wings and use my conscious will,
To stand within the given light upon the window sill.
I'll take the love that's offered there, though one I have not earned,
And hopefully show others the things that I have learned!
