*On a Sparrow and a Cock Sparrow* by Shahzad Ahmed Sheikh
I do watch and see them picking, sipping;
I do admire them flying and twittering;
I do praise my Lord Who mastered them in diving and dipping;
I do observe their benign clustering.
They never falter in understanding;
They never betray and flounder;
They are garrulous, yet contending;
Their circling around is a sheer splendour.
They tend their little one;
I wonder at their coordination;
They are unwavering and hardly undone;
I always stand in perfect fascination.
We all need to learn a lesson;should live with enviable dignity,
Yes, small birds do mould us towards elevated soberity.
