the summertime hummingbird

As the flowers grow and the sun shines
The hummingbird flies in straight little lines
It flaps its wings and buzzes its beak
A hummingbird is, certainly unique
It flies around me as I lie in the sun
I play with it for a bit, oh what fun!
At springtime it likes to fly around me
Its so cute and sweet, nothing like a bee!
It is so small with its tiny wings
Oh, how I love to hear it sing!
It is so tiny and small
It has a sweet call.
It flies around the flowers
As they show their color
It looks so cute
so cute, I can't compute
The smallest bird, is the hummingbird
It is so nice, but can't say a word
I see only fuzz, I hear it buzz
It talks so loud, and looks like that cloud
Nature is so beautiful and wondrous,
It makes the world so tremendous
I hope it never leaves the Earth
For it gives us the hummingbird!
