Strength In Small Things

I saw a sparrow in the sky today,

I  watched as it as it flew.

It fought against the elements,

As it rose above the world.

How I wish I was that sparrow,

Driven by what I can’t explain.

To reach that sunny place,

With no tears and  no rain.

I breathe in and out,

And take one step at a time.

Rising above the ashes of life,

Higher then the clouds of pain.

To a greater place then here and now,

And with a greater gain.
