Sorrow sparrow looks down upon this leaf
Wondering what could have been instead
Sorrow sparrow lets down a little tear
Of the loss that’s left behind
Sorrow sparrow looks up and around the broken branches
Sees the sky above and the wind’s galore
Sorrow sparrow flaps her wings and loosens the bristles
Up and down as she musters courage
Sorrow sparrow takes a little leap
Using her strength to soar above the guards built up
Sorrow sparrow flaps her wings and launches off
As she looks around the life left behind
Sorrow sparrow rose from the pain of loss and began to understand
I’ve not lost anything but know I have loved deeply and completely
Sorrow sparrow looked back at that broken nest
And said thank you for helping me rise
