I Can Bee

Bumble bee, bumble bee,
Who told you you can't be
Among the others flying?
I tell you someone's lying.
If they look at how you look
Judging the cover of the book
Without knowing what is true,
They are foolish, who are you?
You're exactly as you think.
An aviator's on the brink.
Set aside words so negative
From friend, foe or relative,
And let no doubt be heard.
Emphasize the positive Word,
For there's Someone Else within
By whom all is possible friend.
You can do all things through Him
Without concern of words from them
Who say your body is too big.
Soon those words they will renege.
Though you're burdened with this weight,
Your wings of faith He made so great.
So, fly from one flower to the next.
Over and beyond lies that vexed,
You can be the kind of bee
That every bee ought to be.
