Sing the Sparrows’ Song, Grandma

Sing the Sparrows’ song, Grandma,

Asked my little granddaughter!

I sang but in dilemma,

My eyes filled with tears!

 

Easy it was to sight birds in the olden days,

Rare find it is in this techno-phase!

Survival of wings

Is a big fight for these beings.

 

Her small heart, tender brain,

Understands only

Dreams of the moon and drops of rain.

I can’t spill the reality,

I wish to stop this cruelty!

 

What should I explain,

To that furl of innocence,

I will strive to bring back the beauty

I trust in Mother Nature’s victory!

 

Small steps, small changes,

Spilling seeds, reusing stuff,

Recreating chirping meadows,

Helping nature triumph!
