A tribute to a friend who died of cancer

The first hummingbird of the year came late today, And my best friend passed away. That little bird must have known when to show; Rodney loved them and they seemed to know. The circle of life can break your heart Then nature reminds you that we all must part. But that little bird knew when to come, I know it was him, and that we all go home.

A fitting, and beautiful, tribute. The hummingbird was a sign from him to write the poem.
