Once upon a time, in her darkened little world
A hummingbird swooped down and asked, “what’s wrong little girl?”
A sigh so heavy lifted from her chest
Grinning at his twirling wings he settled in the nest
A hush washed over her as she felt him say
Everyday I visit here and you never go astray
She was a loyal friend to most everyone she knew
She felt an old betrayal find its way out of the blue
I watch from high above peaceful and distracted
I wondered what caused your heart to be fractured
A warm smile and a gentle shrug with her shoulder
He is her brightest light these days as she gets older
She knows he is here to whisper sweet praise
Up and away her glances turn into a gaze
This too shall pass little one wait and you will see
Keep doing the next right thing and you’ll be completely free
Little movements will create great victories
String them together to tell your new stories
Looking down at her hands lying open on her knees
She feels the air stir and the coolness of a breeze
What he says she knows in her heart
Each day is an opportunity for a fresh start
