Sparrow – A Poem About Nature and God A house sparrow is busy outside my window Gathering bits of grass in his beak – Supplies needed for this year’s nest.

Tilling Truth’s Garden – A Christian Poem My understanding grows like a thriving weed, Rising taller, but smothering the seed Of a beautiful garden of eternal truth.
