The Song the Sparrow Sings

From my desk, I can hear his song.
The song the Sparrow sings --
He sings his song with a voice so sweet
It's a tune that's meant for kings.
But I'm no king, yet he sings to me,
A poor man without a throne.
When tomorrow begins
He will come once again
To remind me that I'm not alone.

This is beyond words love it

[GalaxyGhost]

This is such a sweet poem and I can imagine this as a little tune for a song or a move even. It's just lovely and charming!

[Papaya]

Good poem James, a King does not need a throne.
There are men who are Kings who are worth nothing and men who have nothing who are worth everything. It's all in how you measure wealth.

[Timothy Ryan]

Sweet, simple and to the point. Some poems lack details, and the person who wrote them isn't always capable of making them better. But I think the length of this is perfect for the message. Good work.

It seems that the poorer a person is the more they appreciate all the little things - the things that kings don't even notice. I love this James - it's well received :)

A sweet reminder that, in life, there are those who appreciate us & gift us with their uplifting talents, no matter if we're rich or poor. I most like the part where this is a celebration that can be anticipated & depended on . . . that's how nature is to me, as well.
