We have so many sparrows in our backyard. They sing to me all day long. I've always loved them. They may not be the most beautiful bird on the planet, but to me I see their beauty. They are so small. When Shalie was born she was only 4 pounds. I gave her the nickname " Little Birdie" and I still will call her that. I thought this was a perfect video to post today for Shalie ( Birdie) because She did very well at her gymnastic meet and she is now on the team and will be competing in Level 3. She's so happy. She will now have the same team outfit as her sister Autumn and she will be going to many of the same meets! So this video is dedicated to my little Birdie, Shalie. I will have a video of her meet made soon.

"Sparrow"


Who will love a little Sparrow?
Who's traveled far and cries for rest?
"Not I," said the Oak Tree,
"I won't share my branches with
no sparrow's nest,
And my blanket of leaves won't warm
her cold breast."


Who will love a little Sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the Swan,
"The entire idea is utterly absurd,
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the
other Swans heard."


Who will take pity in his heart,
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the Golden Wheat,
"I would if I could but I cannot I know,
I need all my grain to prosper and grow."


Who will love a little Sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth,
"For all I've created returns unto me,
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."
