A little sparrow flew into my life once,
Well, not flew, exactly... she just nosedived,
Thump, thump, and bump.
Lost, hurt, and confused, she fit in my palm,
I fell for her barely audible nasal chirp that day,
And promised love.
Yes, like an idiot, I promised love,
My commitment, my attention, my time,
To a sparrow.
But sparrows don't eat from spoons,
One day, she found herself again...
And flew away.
And all I was left with was a song,
A song that still plays in my heart today,
Thump, thump, and bump.
