The Little Hummingbird

by McKenna Age 11
(Iowa)



The Little Hummingbird

The hummingbird flaps her wings and flies from here to there
Sipping sweet nectar from a flower
Her beautiful wings full of power
Her pointed beak with flair

God made the charming hummingbird to fly so free without a care
Her little heart beating faster and faster
Afraid of no disaster
For she is wise and knows that God will be there
Watching out for her
As he is there for all of us when we call

The colors of the rainbow
And the autumn leaves that fall
Are so magnificent
But the tiny hummingbird is the prettiest of them all

Beautiful
by: Bob Carpenter

This is a beautiful reminder that we should not worry about how our needs will be met, because The Lord cares for us even more than the beautiful hummingbird.

Thank you, McKenna!

S U P E R !!!
by: Dad, er I mean unbiased rater

Another gem of a poem from this young, gifted author...great job! We see hummingbirds at our home often and we always stop to watch them do their work. The other day, one actually landed (which we hadn't seen before) so we had a chance to get a closer look.
McKenna's poem captures the essence of the hummingbird and brings them to life.
