How do you feel, my tired little sparrow
About removing more of your back marrow
They’re waving a pointy knife
What do they know, about your resurrected life
Hovering high above, Devastation Hill
Perched upon Noah’s lonely window sill
Your tiny wing looks broken, It’ll have to be reset
You’ll have to wait, to see who’s going to be your vet
How will you become stronger
Enabling you to, land and fly longer
The wall’s rose thorns, now appear deeper and sharper
Fragile and torn apart, your roaming, will now be harder

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Oh Ivor I was afraid you were the sparrow. Because I felt like the sparrow and you and I are so alike. I’m sorry, I do hope it improves. If I could cup you in my hand I would take care of you. My mother had a series of mini strokes and they seem to have come a long way in that area. She healed up and they got it under control. Hugs and kisses sweet Ivor.

Chin up Ivor. You are made of hardy stuff and will get steadily better. This is, I think, the best ever performance of A Whiter Shade of Pale.

I want the wind to ease the struggle of the sparrow. Lifting him and assisting with the struggle.

Oh, tired little sparrow… 😦 I hope you can get some physical AND emotional rest soon. And a good healthy break from your health troubles. I know the emotional tiredness is more difficult to overcome, but you WILL! You are strong of mind, heart, and soul! 🙂
Us other little sparrows will always gather around you to lift you up! We care about you! 🙂
That song is one of my all time favs! 🙂
