The Beautiful Hummingbird! Poem by Denis Martindale

When God looked at the hummingbird,
It caused His face to smile,
Despite the way that it looked blurred,
Its wings moved with such style...
So fast in fact, that God then chose
Its irridescent shine,
Such that it simply glows and glows,
As if it were divine...

That bird inspired even more,
New colours came to mind,
That's why they thrill me to the core,
When such as these I find...
Such tiny creatures when first born,
So fragile yet so fair
And to such creatures I feel drawn,
They're quite beyond compare...

Their hearts beat faster day by day,
Till nights cause speeds to slide,
As if all hurries fade away,
All worries thus to hide...
Like parables, they speak to me,
I need my beauty sleep,
It's wholesome rest that proves the key,
Else what we sow, we reap...

God blessed the humble hummingbird,
It stands out from the crowd,
Of all God's creatures I've preferred,
This one makes me feel proud...
Yes, proud because God made me, too,
Designed by His Own hand,
To do the things He'd have me do,
For blessings that He's planned...
