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.
