from 'While Passing Through'/Winter

the sparrows somehow make it—
what of us?

Somehow we make it too. But also stript of something each year, I think.

i've wondered about this for years- how the birds who winter here endure it. (although usually winters here are comparatively mild.) sparrows, specifically, came to mind which, afterwards, i connected with jesus saying that the Father is aware of every one of them and cares even more for us. there's also a hymn with the title, his eye is on the sparrow. thanks for your comments, laurie. may we be found trusting till the end. -glen

Nice Haiku. Enjoyed it immensely. Raises a good question.
