I am a hummingbird,
floating along on fragile wings,
trying to find nectar to sustain me.
I nest in flower bushes
to shelter myself
In passing storms.
My size does not
determine my worth.
I may seem too fragile
to fight my own battles
but I’ve got my own flock
to hold up my wings
when they get too heavy.
I am not solitary.
They will sing the sweetest songs
when my voice cannot carry a tune.
We will next together
and brave the storms.
A tiny family of Hummingbirds,
Bonding beyond expectation.
Finding hope on one anothers
fragile wings.
