THE HUMMINGBIRD | Idella Pearl Edwards

A hummingbird flew to my window today
As I was sipping tea.
He gracefully darted from pane to pane
As if peering in at me.

He looked so small and yet so strong;
It was quite a sight to behold.
His body shimmered in the morning sun
As he hovered, free and bold.

As if to say, “How are you today?”
He lingered for a while.
His tiny eyes fastened on mine;
His quizzical look made me smile.

His little visit served to remind me,
There is no excuse to be sad.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
I will rejoice and be glad!
