Beautiful Hummingbird
September morning came
my beautiful little hummingbird
you must have known something
terrible was about to occur
Your life was about to be cut short….
That night I was at your side
my crying I was trying to hide
Seeing you in a helpless state
I knew you wouldn't be able to take
A vibrant and fiery person so full of life
Always willing to give and not take…
September morning I could no longer sleep
The night before I prayed my Lord your soul to take
My spirit is restless and no one's awake
I went for a drive my heart was about to break…
September morning you were all alone
As I sat in the car feeling something was wrong
my soul is in despair I can't be strong
Lord wake her and her life prolong...
September morning as I look back
You were with me that morning I felt your embrace
Your place in my heart I will never replace
Seeking my memory for the image of your face...
September morning as we looked that special plot
suddenly a hummingbird hovered just above
giving us a sign this is were you will be laid to rest
Looking out my room all the hummingbirds hovered
offering comfort to a heart in darks cover…
September morning the Lord opened the gates
to a Beautiful Hummingbird like no other
This Beautiful Being is my Mother
never to be replaced by another.
