Please Meet My Sparrows

A hundred sparrows came to eat
A hundred sparrows at my feet
Why just sparrows,
why not songbirds and singers of the night,
why can’t they come and visit
before the morning light?

Then someone said, “to make them go away
just don’t feed them”,
And then I let the feeders go empty for a day
That night while safe in bed, with a full stomach
And a roof over my head
I could not sleep
I had to count sheep
I thought about all those little sparrows
out there hungry in that little bush
Then the next morning I went outside in a very big rush
I gave them so much bird seed with my very special touch

If the songbirds want to visit, let them,
If the singers of the night want to come, let them
Let all the birds of the air come and have a meal
But in the meantime, those sparrows have to eat
They make my life so complete

I’m taking care of my sparrows
God is taking care of me
God said, “He sees every sparrow fall
And that’s not all he watches, he watches over everything
He watches all"!
