I KNOW WHY THE SPARROW SINGS I know why the sparrow sings While early dew still wets the green Before the earth is stirred by light And other eyes invade the scene It sings for seedlings of the field For ceremonies undisturbed It sings for its serenity Inherent freedom of the bird It twitters out its morning tune From swollen, puffed and downy breast And in the rising mist fulfills Commitment to a hungry nest It sings for woods and trees and space To be alive in nature’s bliss I, too, would sing a morning song If I were heir to all of this Elizabeth Santos |

"If I were heir to all of this..." and yet, aren't we but landlords... from time to time? and that, m'dear, is why you care so much... to keep all as it is, and yet, to allow growth. Well done, M'lady Santos! |

Oh Liz ... my goodness, I had missed reading your thoughts. Beautiful! I was sitting outside this morning drinking my cup of tea ... and I heard a wonderful tune being sung off to the right. It took me a while to find the little fella, but there he was, singing his little heart out. It felt like a concert "just for me". Your words summed up the experience perfectly. Loved this. Best wishes and big hugs, /Kit |
