Hummingbirds and Memories

How ordinary moments become warm memories

Ordinary…yet precious moments

That adhere ardently

To one’s heart

Points in time that 

Without reason or rhyme

Become outstanding… and stand apart

A trio of quarrelsome hummingbirds 

Outside of one’s window

Tentative, timid… first flakes of snow

Playful puppies fighting over toys

Prickly Hummers and puppies alike

Naught but bickersome boys

Just an ordinary moment, in an ordinary day

ordinary ol’ man and his ordinary wife

An ordinary daughter,  an ordinary life

This ordinary day…becomes a memory

And in turn becomes extraordinary

By some strange happenstance

A happy memory of Hummingbirds

And puppies and daughter’s pleasant company

..and snowflakes that dance…
