Sparrows

By Um-Eesaa






Last night’s rice would not be eaten.
After all, everyone likes fresh food.
So I break the cold rice into pieces,
And then sprinkle the balcony with it.
I watch and wait for some creature to come.
My wait is rewarded when a sparrow stops by.
But instead of eating, what does it do?
It hops to the edge of the balcony and starts to chirp.
It continues to chirp until more sparrows come.
And then they all eat together.
As I watch them eat, tears fill my eyes.
And I wonder:
Why is it that such a little bird understands the meaning of unity and sharing,
But we human have yet to smell their essence?

[Silver Sparrow]

Mashallah. What lovely sparrows you have, my birds dont like sharing at all :S

Lovely poem sister, I completely agree, we need to stop squabbling and become one big family again - One God, One Message, One Ummah

[Silver Sparrow]

I have a quote about how birds have more sense than we do.

...During the nesting season [the Pied Wagtail] is very terretorial, and individual pairs vigorously chase out any intruder [wagtail] that happens to enter their territory. However, should a sparrowhawk make an appearance, all individuals in the neighbourhood may often join forces to mob this dangerous intruder and force him to leave.

Just goes to show how much we can learn from 'dumb' animals...

[abdushakur]

Animals are innocent. They simply do what they have been 'programmed' to do. That's why they will not be judged inshallah.
We can learn a few good ways of living from their 'programming', inshallah.

Signs from the Programmer.

true, Hazrat Abu Bakr wished he was a bird too.
There's a lot to learn from everything on this earth that Allah has made for us, from animals, plants, etc.
