And then I saw a hummingbird
Darting - Diving - Hovering
Interested in a camellia bud
Brilliant pink in green covering
Just beyond, geraniums stand
Red bursts of bloom
Seem to hold hands
Next to a purple lily plume
Spring winds toss the bushes
Trees still bare sway
Greenish buds on their branches
Promise many a warm day
How I love my garden
Such life and hope is there
Sitting amongst God's creation
Joy drenches my garden chair
