This little bird, so quick in his flight,
Brightens my day... is a precious delight.
He "visits" my flowers, pausing mid-air,
And savors the nectar which he enjoys there.
He doesn't linger, but quickly moves on,
Visiting flowers hither and yon.
But in that moment when he darts by,
I feel like my heart to God has drawn nigh.
This little bird is one of God's treasures
To cheer us and bring sweet memories and pleasures.
Though he be small, he brings a big smile.
I always wish that he'd linger awhile.
"And God created... every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:21 KJV
