Notes About The Poem

Bees Knees

Bees Knees

In the trees, bugs that hum and sing. 
Can you believe that? 
What a crazy thing?

(bugs) Some hop and jump, others just fly. 

Bees… sing, 
what a special, special thing! 
Humming songs to the flowers, 
all over the world, 
singing words unheard, 
except by the very young, 
and the very old. 

Without them this world will die. 
Their song… sweetly, softly dissipates…
Bees, have a secret. 
They know the words to the hymns, 
of heaven. 

Listen. 
(if you can)

Beautiful Ann. Hate that I rarely see them compared to just a decade ago.

Yes, they are dying off. Time is shorter than ever to do all that we truly can. Prayers for your day... Full of flowers, and humming bugs... hehe... Ann
