Sparrow In The Wind The ocean breeze is strong today And beats the waves to froth and spray. A sparrow in the wind am I, Who prays that God will hear my cry! Dispel the gale and quell the storm And lead me somewhere safe and warm. My boat is driven to the shore. Will I survive to sail once more, Or will the tempest claim my soul And bury me, where dark seas roll.? But faith is like a shining light, To guide me safely through the night And in the daytime hours show Each new direction I must go!

Some days you just feel as frail as a sparrow, and by the time you get your wings "lifted" you are as strong as an eagle. I loved this poem, it was very inspiring. |

Being from Idaho, you are certainly a woman who sees beyond your boarders.  Lovely poem. His eye is on the sparrow . . . Love, LayItDown |

Sharon: Boy, that's the truth! Sometimes when I feel the weakest, are the times I've had to be the strongest. I know where that strength comes from and I'm always grateful! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

LayItDown: Thanks. Although I now live in Idaho and have for twenty years or so, I lived many places before that and I like to think I learned something everywhere I went. Betty Lou Hebert |

Though now in Wisconsin (25 years), I've lived in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. You never forget, do you? Love, LayItDown |
