~Hummingbird~
Why are you so fascinating
as I watch in awe
Is it because you're so busy
Or because you're so small

Never do you rest
Moving about from flower to flower
And those little wings flutter so fast
with each passing hour

You just hum while you work
Not a bird of song
Do you hum the melody
Because the words you get all wrong

Searching for sweet nectar
I planted a flower garden just for you
Each flower is the sweetest I could find
They glisten and sparkle
with fresh morning dew

I am inviting you to be my guest
Come into my garden and stay
for awhile
I'll ask a friend or two to join us
So they can see hummingbird's work
in a hummingbird style

You just keep busy
We promise to be very quiet,
little hummingbird
We'll not speak above a whisper
so you'll not be disturbed
