Excellent Two very different creatures describe their calling. Meet the Gang : The Anteater and the Hummingbird by Michelle D. Carr Share A Story In A Poem contest entry

Anteater, what is your calling? Inquired the hummingbird. Your snout is appalling, your tongue is absurd.   I may look forlorn but I give pleasure. Before I was born He called me a treasure.   He gave me my appetites which I try to deserve. I crave ants and termites. That is how I serve.   I am not honored  like lions or kings, Or lavishly furred with raccoon rings.   My Lord loves me.  He made me this way. I can just be. He will always stay.   What is your calling,  helicopter in flight? I find you enthralling. You hum but don't fight.   I'm called to be seen. Not to bring doom. To act like a queen. Humming my tune.   Author Notes Every living thing has a meaning to discover, which gives a sense of purpose and this is created within them from the womb.
