Wating for my husband to go in a store to pay a bill..There was a baby sparrow on the concrete..I knew that only a few minutes separated it from death because of the heat and probably the fall injured it..Sara

This is sad! D: That poor sparrow...it makes me want to cry now because no one is helping it. Enduring the dreadful heat...you know it kind of reflects on what's going on around here in Texas...the heat has been hitting hard and there's been no chance of rain. Sucks really.

A sad poem that depicts how frail life is and how temporary.
Nicely composed!

What a sad glimpse of life... and the end of life... so fragile and yet fighting to live.. to hold on.. even in vain... So powerfully rendered...

Yes, sometimes at the end of life's journey, we are just hanging on wanting to life but also wanting to go on to our place in our new body. Sara K
