The Hummingbird
The hummingbird came and went for years
They would sit and watch the eggs hatch
and watch them fly away
But one day she fell
and couldn’t watch them fly anymore
The hummingbird still came and went
He would describe the eggs to her
and how they would fly away
But one day she didn’t wake up
and couldn’t hear about them fly anymore
The hummingbird still comes and goes
He sits and watches the eggs hatch
and watches them fly away
But every time he saw her
and watched her fly away
