Hummingbird-A Collaboration 

Drink little bird of the nectar of life.
Drink and be stirred, far away from all strife, 
Choose every flower with care as you sip.
Choose honey power, sweetly let it drip.

How softly we hear your hum of music
And with fragile ears we listen to it --
The lulling song of your euphonic voice, 
A calming charm amid natural noise.

Hummingbird, hummingbird lovely to see,
Ever lightly coming close to the bee.
You share the flowers with a likely foe.
To the air with quickness away, you go.

You fly up, you fly down. You don't stay still.
In sweetness you drown your hovering skill.
You fly front, you fly back, though you are small.
There is nothing you lack. God hears your call.
