A Busy Bee

A busy bee browses the lavender bush Collecting sweet nectar no doubt Visits loads of blue flowers Goes on round about. Some distance away tall buddleia blooms. Its long purple blossoms in spikes The butterflies love it and never give up Its nectar is vital for life. The soil underneath is full of life too Worms, woodlice, and beetles and plenty of bugs. Some nice things, some not so No-one ever likes slugs. Oh thank you, yes, thank you, God, your precious plan, No part independent though millions of bits Each needing some others, some sharing of life Each particle useless if just hit-or-miss.
