~ Fly sparrow, fly ~



Fly sparrow fly
The Rose awaits you,
Fly sparrow fly
He will fill you with fresh dew





Alight upon the rose
He awaits your arrival
The safety of the Rose...His essence
is true survival





Why fight so hard
to remain on earth
When you could fly away free
into a rebirth





born and raised a sparrow
an eagle you'll be
go to the Rose of Heaven
He'll set you free





Free from pain
Free from strife
Free from the bonds
that make up this life





Fly sparrow fly
Fly away home
With the Rose of heaven
in unison you'll roam





You'll soar through the heavens
wings spanned wide
An eagle you'll be
with The Rose you'll glide





you'll be free Ken...free!
take wing and fly!
be an eagle
let this earth lie





lie in wait
for the judgment day
you little sparrow
will be far away





rejoicing with angels
praising with kin
Fly sparrow fly!
The Rose awaits

Mary Silva






This poem was written for a
gentleman online who was dying of
cancer, Ken King...he always referred
to himself as a sparrow and to the
Lord as his Rose...He's with the
Father now...and I will always think of
him as soaring like an eagle with
Jesus, his "Rose"...Fly Ken...Fly!!
