a sparrow singing
in the cold December dawn
a new day begins
I heard a bird singing about dawn this morning. I think the
bird was a sparrow perching in the oak tree next door. As I listened to it
sing, I remembered a December morning several years ago when Mom and I sat on
the living room couch listening to sparrows sing.
When Mom was younger and healthy, she always liked to get up
before dawn to get her day started. Mom was an early riser, who did not like to
sleep in. It did not matter what the season, Mom liked to get up before dawn
and begin housework. I miss those mornings with Mom, listening to birds sing or
the morning news.
