THE LAST SPARROW . . .


THE LAST SPARROW

Come dusk and the last sparrows have finished their last session on the hedge
Then disappear as the dust turns into early night darkness into their cosy beds

There always remains one little sparrow who seems to enjoy its own company
It’s ever happy to remain - seems not to have a need for others to accompany

It quite healthy even plump so it has not missed out on anything I like to think
It loves having the bird bath to itself - before having itself a nice welcome drink

The sheer elation that it shows in having this gardens playground all to oneself
More than clearly shows - really giving this little sparrow its own joyous wealth

Each evening as the darkness descends I look out of the window to see it arrive
Although strange to see it in the prevailing darkness - it always seems to thrive

It is my very own last standing little sparrow and it bring me lots of enjoyment
See its so eager little face - its joyous bobbin I’m just happy that it’s so content
