Hummingbirds, Snowflakes And Memories Poem by David Whalen

<center>
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…
