Queen Bee
Close to what will be?
Choose the beginning and than the end
If true to his words, she will call on thee.
The beacon shows where to find the queen bee
And flowers full of nectar, blossoming on an orange tree
Close to what will be?
The workers span out to retrieve
What miles they cover
If true to his words, she will call on thee.
Alfalfa pollen and wildflower dust
Returning and leaving and doing the same
Close to what will be?
The pollen from a spring time delight on an orchard tree
The off-spring virtually never ending
If true to his words, she will call on thee.
In a bees life it is the king-not the queen-that takes a knee
He repents and worships her
Close to what will be?
If true to his words, she will call on thee.
