Little Hummingbird 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I’m a little Hummingbird 
Flying so fast and true

I fly around looking for food
That’s mostly what I do 

My most important job
Happens to be the nest
That’s where my babies rest  

Early to rise in the morning
Late to sleep at night

The Lord Blesses me each and every day
That’s why I teach my babies, to always pray

When It’s Over

When it’s over
And theirs only silence to abound 

May the Memory of me
Be the Love I've spread around

May the Memory of Clashing Symbols
And Bugles in the air
Be a Reflection of the Praises to Our Heavenly Father up there. 

As time goes by
May the Memories increase in our Hearts
To Show
How We Praised GOD from the very start

For there is no end to life
only relief from strife

When we come before HIS Throne
His Glory will be Known

Be Content 

When all goes wrong 
When all goes right
Just hold on and sit tight

When your in pain
When your not

Be not in despair 
For Jesus is there

If you are rich
If you are poor

Thank God
For letting you endure

When your going through a tunnel 
And you start to see the light

Just bow your head
And know everything will be alright

Jesus 

I saw Jesus
I’m not afraid of Him
I felt his love deep within 

He died on the cross
And rose again
So that I might live again  

He gives me more than I could ever believe 
Peace within
And Joy received 

There is no understanding 
Of what he can do

He can live within
You too

Neighbor 

Good Neighbor, I want to be. 
Does it begin with Him or Me?

Who should make the first move?
I’ll wait and see. 

Well if I wait on Him,
It will probably be Me

I prayed about it,
And what did  I hear?

What a silly question,
If you are sincere.

Miracle 

I had a Miracle last night
I never had one before 
But it is something I praise GOD for

I’ve had a blind spot in my right eye
For Thirty Five Years
I never complained, sometimes it brought me to tears

I dreamed last night my eye was healed
I praised the LORD from where I kneeled 

When I awoke, the blind spot was gone
Now Praising my SAVIOR all the day long

 When  Baby Jesus came home

When Joseph and Mary returned home
They were neighbors of ours

My mother said we should see them
And take  some flowers 

As we came to the house, there was something different
I cannot explain
It  smelled like fresh falling rain

They welcomed us inside 
So proud of their son
They told of their journey with great excitement 
And how it had begun

Mary said God sent us this son for a great purpose on earth 
We have no idea of his great worth

As I turned and saw the smile on this baby’s face
I could not contain myself 
I ran all over the place

My mother told me to calm down, or we would have to go
She did not want me to disturb this baby, that had such a glow

As we were about to leave, 
I turned to look and saw that face
I will never forget The love and grace

Many years have passed
But I can still see Baby Jesus's Face
