UNCERTAIN BLESSING
A sparrow has fallen, but not from grace
leaving two seeds, bless the human race
Happy times felt more within than without
till the curtains dropped leaving no doubt
laughter speaks softly
harmony agrees
tears fall secretly
telling the trees
A seething arrow downed the sparrow
while nature heals scars by leaving
the sting, another thing
rain will wash, wind will sing
as hurt gathers many companions
planning destruction,
an endless campaign ...
Cry wind Cry rain
Love grows stronger than a barometer's
measure
opposing pain its cruelest pleasure
self pity is given no quarter
Crisis August, Crisis
a match is lit but doesn't burn
a wheel is spinning yet won't turn
a bike is still however it churns
a mind is stable without being stern
a prayer answered or was it spurned
a heart can't wish, only yearn
Yearn for the miracle that will appease
Yet to find
God don't bend, only his knees ...
By Thomas Dorsey
August 1976
