Hummingbird

by Louise Maksymetz

Like an angel in the sky
dressed in bright jewels
and a message tucked under your wing
you fill my heart with peace and comfort
as you whisper a message with every flutter
to stay strong even in difficult times

Like an angel in the sky
dressed in bright jewels
and a message tucked under your wing
you bring joy and happiness
as you whisper a message with every flutter
reminding me to savor every sweet moment
