How an Eagle Saved a Sparrow (Sonnet)

I lift my eyes up and ask the Lord this;
How can I save my brothers and sisters?
How can I draw them closer to You?
How can I make them seek after you?
Is there a way to make someone love You?
Dear, Lord, I am exhausted-- beyond belief.


When I come to you with these inquiries
You always answer with a humbling cry;
“Child! This is not your responsibility,
It is your duty to love the unloveable,
To forgive the unforgiveable.


So lift your eyes up and rather ask Me this;
Father, forgive me, for I have sinned.’

And remember where your place is, dear one.
