The Beauty p

The Hummingbird so swift & pristine
Flies above us, quick and clean
Even though it is so tiny and small
It towers above the birds, so tall
Because of its large heart
And its mind, that is so very smart
Because of its heart of gold
And body so bold
Its beautiful song
And beak, so long
It sings a wonderful melody
Filled with harmony
It pecks restlessly all day
With nothing to say
But in the silence
Is the faint essence
Of the hummingbird so swift and pristine
Flying above us, quick and clean
