Little hummingbird, you mean the return of spring to me Hovering daintily over the honeysuckle vine Dipping and weaving, soaring and floating Frontwards or backwards you are full of energy I would love to harness Seeking out nectar to fuel your course You help to pollinate nature's beautiful world Seeking out blossoms of red, orange, and bright pink But many don't know you find nectar incomplete and supplement your ravenous diet with spiders and insects met along the way Most people think you fly all day But little hummingbird, I know the truth, From watching you linger on the branch of a pine tree, or settled quietly in your nest, you spend far more time relaxing than flitting about So welcome spring, welcome warmth And welcome my dainty little hummingbird
