More Than a Sparrow

This poem is based on Matthew 6: 25- 34. Just trust in the Lord, do not worry, have a positive outlook in life.

You do not need to

build your nest on high branches

to take care of your offspring

My arms are your shelter

In spring, winter, fall and summer

You are more than a sparrow

You’ll have a better home than an igloo

You do not need to

chirp and tweet all the day long

to express what you feel

Say a little prayer

In times of joy and danger

You are more than a sparrow

Count on me and I’ll remove your sorrow

You do not need to

fly and search for a fruit

to extinguish your hunger

Foods plenty on my table

That replenishes you to be able

You are more than a sparrow

Cling to me daily and you’ll grow

You do not need to

soar high in the wide, endless sky

to seek for wisdom

Follow the way that I have traveled

And your future will not be stumbled

You are more than a sparrow

I have great ideas for you to know

My child, you are more than a sparrow

I care for you yesterday, today and tomorrow
