Life

I watched the bees today So busy  in their hunt  for food From flower to flower they go Looking for pollen so good The workers never stop Continually on the go Cos a hive depends on them For the young to thrive and grow. Its like that in the human race Some busy no time to sit and play Whilst others sit and do nothing at all Thats how they spend  their day. Life is not always fair A balance isnt made Of thse that do, those that  do not Only pride is their reward. Q Plus Knowledge that they do their share They earn their place in life The money they spend is earned Though sometimes it causes strife. Living is such a complex thing So many rights  and wrongs So smile and watch the bees at work Relax and hum a song Soon asleep you'll be Gently snoring as u dream Of things on  your todo  list What a pleasure that will  seem Just like the busy bee With responsibility on his mind Knowing others depend on you Cos your the thoughtful kind. .
