HUM
                           I waited and waited--out-- on my front steps.
                     I saw that they were coming, I saw my box was next.
                         The postman,He handed--a short stack to me.
                       My eyes scanning quickly, some message from she?
                      Then came some excitment, addressed to my door.
                           A strange tiny package, unlike any before.
                       I torn at it lightly, not knowing what was inside.
                         In brown wrapping paper--just what did it hide?
                         My hands started trembling, my fingers collide,
                     I thought that I heard- something humming inside.
                        As I pulled back the wrapping, I grew very sure.
                           It held in it her answer..the one I'd waited for.
                      I pulled on one string that she had looped around,
                         Then I heard it again--that strange humming sound.
                        The string floated down, twisting and turning to rest.
                          As I noticed beside it, could this be some nest? 
                            I ripped at the wrapping, I pulled and I tore..
                               Unlike any present--I'd opened before.
                            A tiny hole opened, from the side of my gift.
                         She knew it would be there...to make my heart lift.
                          Then all of the sudden--this box-- it opened up wide.
                           I'd unleashed its contents, I'd freed its insides.
                                A very big smile--appeared on my lips.
                              I had to calm down--my emotions to grip.
                          The humming grew louder and then louder again.
                             Its sound got familar, I'd heard it--but when?
                          My mind raced so quickly, This hum heard before.
                         I'd heard it---I knew it-- from outside my back door.
                          That sound so familar..a hum..I listened for more.
                             I pulled open a corner and what did I see?
                                     Two tiny eyes--looking at me.
                        My hands again trembled--then my fingers did knot--
                           and out of the wrapping, this hummingbird shot.
                              He first landed gentlely--right in my left hand
                            He then beat his wings,just where would it land?
                  These wings brushed me gently,as he brushed my right cheek
                        and captured the tears-- that my eyes--did then leak.
                                  My phone, then it rang. And I've caller I.D.         
                                Who's number was it? Just who would it be?  
                             The lights spelled her name,the call was from she.
                             "Did You open the package? That I last week sent?"
                            "I hoped it would arrived unbroken or bent."
                              I broke out in laughter, 
                                          I'd waited so long..
                            I thanked her and thanked her..
                                    I felt that my heart, was starting to lift. 
                               She'd sent me a friend, for my lady out back.
                            My small lady hum bird....the man bird,she lacked.
 
                             If You get a package..from the one you desire..
                            the one that you care for..the one who inspires..
                                    Wish on the stars---all hanging above.
                          and hope thats it humming and packaged with love.
