Sweet hummingbird
by Tadiwanashe
(harare,mashonaland west,zimbabwe)
Day and night you hear their sweet hums
Promising to soothe every sobbing heart
Less than a penny it weighs
But makes me lovely days
It sieves the pain and leaves me joy
Sadness may play my heart like a ramming toy
But the hummingbird makes me forget all
For only I wish I was a doll
As the hummingbird rows tall
To all the hummingbirds
Who day and night hum
Oh sweet hummingbird
