The Hummingbird

Published by - Wingless Dreamer

I promise I will always fly to visit you
Please leave your window open at the end of the day
Oh, how much I love you… If only you knew

Her tiny buzzing wings exude an incredible green hue
She longs to stay near and not be led astray
I promise I will always fly to visit you

Overwhelmed with regret, she wants to come through
A desire to remind her son it’s okay to briefly back away
Oh, how much I love you… If only you knew

As her wings tire, she gently drifts into direct view
A mother perched on the windowsill in the sun’s single ray
I promise I will always fly to visit you

An emptiness in his eyes one could not misconstrue
Her final days were rather dull and painfully grey
Oh, how much I love you… If only you knew

“Look for me in hummingbirds. It’s how I’ll join too.”
A whisper in her son’s ear, just trying to convey
I promise I will always fly to visit you
Oh, how much I love you… If only you knew
