HUMMINGBIRD IN THE WIND

When you’re having a difficult time,
when you don’t know where one trouble ends and the next one begins…
Take a moment to stop and ponder…
a hummingbird fighting the wind.

The hummingbird’s always looking for food.
Her wings are always on the go.
She’s out there trying to survive another day
as the wind tosses her to and fro.

She tries to light upon a swaying branch
For a moment’s respite…a moment’s delay.
But she is at the mercy of nature
who in an instant…flicks her away.

So she tries her luck with another branch
But the wind is too strong and too fast
and she quickly finds that this new tree branch
is as unwelcoming as was the last.

But the hummingbird is resilient…
For even with the wind as her belligerent rival
She finds another tree then another
You see…she is fighting now for survival.

And she knows…or at least she must feel
Trees are essential for her living…up…
And the key to life for a hummingbird…
is, no matter what, never give up.

So the next time you feel like giving up
Take a moment before you begin
And think of how much there is to be learned

from the hummingbird fighting the wind.
