Dear sunbird
Every morning I would look at you and think
You made a nest in my home
But you keep hiding from me.
Every year I would see you
and be glad that my little garden
Has benefited someone at least.
Some bird found a home in it
But this year is different.
This year when I sit outside
I see so many of your friends,
Barbets, hornbills, Koel, parrots,
Fruit doves, robins, magpies
and so many new birds
Who come and visit you.
This year I realised
It is not you who made a nest in my home
It is me who had made a home in your nest.
