The Humming Bird (poem)
Attachments:
- The Humming Bird I laid a humming bird to rest this morning. We found it on the deck beneath the feeder. Probably one of our regular visitors. One broken wing the only clue. Someone said to put it in the garbage. That hurt my heart. Humming birds demand so little in life and so much less in death. I carried the little bird in my hands to a corner of our yard and covered it in leaves, trusting to nature the work that remained. I said a little prayer that I hoped someone someday might say for me: Thank you for the pleasure of your company. The universe was better for having you in it. I got up and spared a moment's thought for all the humming birds that fall where I never see. -- Anonymous (remote)
