23 - Bee Ambitious

Bee ambitious. We always seem to fly together; I’m gonna fly out on my own. I sure do like working with you, But inside my heart I live alone. Maybe one day we will find a way, For you to become the bee I travel with in peace; But I don’t see that happening any time soon, unfortunately. You have been a good friend to me for all this time And when I return, I will find you And I will bee…so happy! But for now I must fly solo; One day I will return. I will come back one day to this hive and all that which I know! But for now, I have to go. Next time you see me I will have a thousand new stories to tell. Do not waste your life dreaming about me; Do not linger and cease and yearn. We will meet again some day, I promise, So do not bee too concerned. There is no ‘Us’ for me, in this place, at this time; But give it time and things could change. Maybe we will find our way. Until that day I will save all my honey And wait on you in all ways. If I can bee of service, then nothing could bee a trouble to me. If you would like a spoon full of honey to pour into your tea, Then please; Allow me. I will oblige you this morning, for I have nothing better to do. You can only see me thinking of leaving here, through teary eyes, But smile, please, you can already see I need to find a new view. I am a little bee with big ambitions! One day you will see me And hopefully my dreams will have come to fruition. The orange horizon sure does look tempting to me; I wonder how far the sky goes? I have been speaking for years now about how I would leave, How I would find out what lies beyond; I only stayed this long because I was worried it would bee too cold. I guess you already know what happens, When a bee begins speaking about leaving. It never seems to chase its dreams; Well, I will be a unique bee! I’m heading over the trees! Going to disappear behind the bushes; I will bee last seen heading for the sun! My mind is made. I have done my days And retirement sure looks like fun. There is a great big world out there to go and see; Going to travel and view it all, just you watch me! I have already flown a whole mile today! And once I have rested, I will fly again! The ocean may bee difficult to cross over, But I will find safe passage aboard a ship. I will hide from newspapers and angry eyes, But I should bee ok to make it to the other side…I think And when the ship docks into port, I will find the nearest sugary drink. This is my plan so I thought I would tell you before I set off… So; tell me. What do you think? Am I ready…? Or not? (C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
