The Hummingbird

Just watch them as they dart up and down
They are so very smart and alert
Although they are very small and short
Watch them as they cheer your heart

They come around each and every year
I love to see their every move
The feeling they give to one is great
Most of the time they are never late

You know that they come each and every spring
They dart about home every summer
What a great thrill to see them dart
They leave a rainbow in your very heart

What a thrill to wake up in the morning
Knowing that they will charm you again
As you take care of them each and every day
They leave you with the feeling of cheer.
