The Bumblebee 🐝

I noticed a bee in peril today,

When passing a pond,

And to my dismay…

Saw it’s fluttering wings

In a sign of distress,

Struggling to get out

Of it’s watery mess.

Feeling bad for the bee,

I found a big leaf

To place under its body,

Helping it to its feet.

Then I laid it aside,

While it gathered its pride,

Until it finally was able

To once again, fly.

Now, saving a bee,

Which caught my attention,

To some is a task,

Too meager to mention.

Yet, bees have a purpose

Here to us all;

They pollinate our flowers

And our plants, big and small.

And we all have a purpose.

We all have a worth.

We all work together 

On this planet, called Earth.

So, the next time a bee

Needs your help, just recall –

That a life’s still a ‘life’,

No matter how small.
