Sweet Little Hummingbird

Dear little hummingbird

Sweet little hummingbird

You are a lantern in this dim world

 

You've been through things that I cannot fathom

It was never your fault, what happened

You carried unbearable pain that was never yours to burden

 

Dear little hummingbird

Sweet little hummingbird

You are a lantern in this dim world

 

You were outside in the garden the other day

When we started to talk about life and family

You picked the cedar helped us connect and pray

Though we'd never met, there was no reason to circumvent

Everything flowed through us effortlessly

 

Your willingness to share your story with me

Is the definition of love and bravery

 

Dear little hummingbird

Sweet little hummingbird

You are a lantern in this dim world

 

They say that there's a reason that the caged bird sings

Hummingbird, you are the sweetest thing

You've magically moved through your own event

 

You should be proud of what you've become

Surrounded by the love and the care that you have given to your husband, your daughters and your son.
