Cheer-Up! Cheer-Up! © Poem by Roann Mendriq

Cheer-Up! Cheer-Up! ©



"Cheer-up! Cheer-up! " chirps my sparrow,
hopping on my window sill;
She takes the path, straight and narrow,
peering at me through iron grill.

She nods her head in understanding,
Wise, dark eyes alight with care;
All my woes that are demanding
to fold her wings in fervent prayer.

For her, a scattering of crumbly cakes,
a cup of ginger tea for me;
My kitchen glows as my heart awakes,
in our cheerful company.

Then, "Cheer-up! Cheer-up! " she chirps goodbye,
and reaches for the bright blue sky.
