As spring commences, I start planting plants in my patios
Trees and plants bloom, birds make the environment alive
My heart leaps up when I behold Hummers in the patio
Like me Hummers are early birds, unlike them I make my tea
As I sit down at my kitchen table, I look through my window
Watching games played by the Hummers with my flowers
Giving hundreds of kisses to flowers was the part of play
When I was unaware, I thought there are few crazy birds
While I enjoy my morning tea, sucking the nectar is your joy
Your magnificent aerial dance is like a floating ballet
Your steady hovering in the air was the magical show of life
Oh God, thy art is magnificent, it is the wonder of the world
Seeing you all daily in different colors, my eyes remain thirsty
I thought you are trying to impress me, hope I am not wrong
You do not know how much I love you, I prepare feeder for you
Seeing you every spring morning, make my day inspired
You sing chirp- chirp-chirp, feathers make chirping sound too
Your wing flapping beats more than fifty five per second
Ooh so tiny, you are only four inch long and weigh four gram
Your needle-like bill is unique to lick nectar from the flowers
Hovering in one place by your pliable speedy flapping wings
Long hovering makes you to suck out the nectar of flowers
You have tiny legs and feet but are not quite good at walking
Capable of flying with the speed of fifty five miles per hour
Helicopters cannot copy your skills, engineers get lost in design
They want to mimic you to spy, to scout out safe combat zones
You are the great gift of God, stirred by the beauty of nature
Hummers, you reflect evidence for the presence of creator
