Tiny Blue and Gold Bird

The birds and the bees love my home gardens, especially the flowers.
Today a tiny gold and blue bird, my high school colors,
Sat on a flower in the Mary circle in the backyard garden.
Every time I tried to move closer with my zoom lens camera,
The tiny gold and blue bird flew away.
So I had to settle for this picture of its back.

To be a tiny gold and blue bird would be fine.
It would mean I was vulnerable, humble and care free.
I could spend the day enjoying flowers and being care free.
But the blue and gold reminds me that I am “educated”,
Which means that I am supposed to be an adult, grown up,
Taking pictures with cameras like this one
And not childlike, like a tiny blue and gold bird.
