Maltese Sparrow Poem by Paul Reed

Maltese Sparrow

To see if he would come

You broke off a crumb

As a kind of goodbye

On a Maltese ledge set high;



And after a while he appeared

Not flown away as you had feared

And picked up with gratitude

That little scrap of food;



That bird's life you might have saved

Given the helping hand he craved

Love flew from your heart like an arrow

Fare thee well, little Maltese sparrow.
