Good morning, little sparrow,
Flitting through the trees.
Your voice spreads cheer and happiness
And puts my mind at ease.

My problems simply drift away,
As you raise my spirits high,
~ May I sing along with you
In singing to the sky?

ESP, I tell ya.  This was so joyous!  I just walked back inside from witnessing a most miraculous little event involving a bird.  It will be a poem, I hope, so I dont' want to say everything here....but you will know it when you see it.  Just too uncanny how I just saw that then the first poem I read is this! hehehehe *wink* KBHBLY, lily jo

Linda, I hope in life...you are half as
positive as all that you have given us in
your poetry.  It is always so uplifting and
delightful to read.

Thanks for the gift of a smile, such a simple pleasure, and yet priceless.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

That was a very cheery response! If you do happen to come around again today, I am now saying to you in advance, "chirp, chirp" (that means "Good morning" in sparrowese!)  lol

Huggums,

You and I are so often in sink, I mean "sync", my darlin' little lily jo!

I'll keep a sparrow's eye (or is that an "eagle's" eye? lol) for a poem on your birdie experience!

Tweet tweet!
Have a happy day!

My goodness, you must weigh quite a bit less than I do!!! It would take far more than 8 sparrows to lift me up! lol

Don't mind me! I just had some Cheerios and I'm in a silly, cheerio mood!

Have a great day!

Magnus ~

You may be pleased to know that I am way more than half as positive as my writes! lol

Thank you for your "delightful" response!

As I can positively say, being positive attracts possitivity! Like begets like! ~ and I try to keep negativity at bay in my life! ~ and I am usually successful! I just turn life's proverbial lemons into lemonade! ~ unfortunately, some brews turn out better than some of the others! lol

Loves 'n hugs,

Well I certainly am pleased that I can return the favour of giving you a smile ~ cause you sure gave a huge one to me last evening with your poem about counting sheep!

My goodness, that was a treat and a half to read! Smile, smile, smile...

Have a glorious day, Sweet Sue the Wonder Woman!

(does happy dance) Yay! Oh Linda, I have always loved sparrows, and since I was a little boy they have always been one of my favorites of God's creatures I identify with! (kiss on cheek) I also call myself Singing Sparrow on other poetry forums, yay! (chirps happy sparrow tune) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
