Poem #5

Little Sparrow
By: Amber Emmons
Fret not little sparrow
Who has fallen from its nest
You fear what's at the bottom
And you think taking flight is best
As your tiny wings flap
And you become more desperate
The more you try, the more you fail
As this empty space is desolate
Gravity works against you
Pulling you closer to the ground
Things seem hopeless
A short life, you are bound
Fear has now consumed you
Throwing you into an abyss
 But then you remember
All the love you would miss
You try again, spreading your wings
You swallow the fear and refuse to cry
Fret not little sparrow
For you can now fly
