hummingbird

i rise 
small
reluctant 
sorrowful 
discouraged 
downhearted
and out the window spy 

a hummingbird

thank you poppa
you knew just the thing
sent at  just the right time
to strengthen me

i hope you found some sweetness there
 my little one
my little one
amongst the flowers fading

thank you for sharing 
your sweetness 
with me
now

fly 
fly 
away
