The Flower & The Bee

The Flower & The Bee

Spring comes around

The flower blooms

It's smell fills the air

The sweetness spreads

The bees appear 

And begin to take what’s theirs

In order for them to survive this year

For without the blossoming flower

These bees will have no purpose

And without purpose these bees

Have no reason for existence

So while the bee depends on the flowers growth

For its personal growth

The flower lets the bee take all

The sweetness that it knows

Until there’s nothing left

And the flower has given all that it can give

The bee no longer returns

After taking what it can get

The flower is left

With no regrets

No bad feelings of remorse

For without its existence

The bees around it 

Could no longer be born

And as the year goes by

The seasons change

The flower falls and dies

Until next year when spring comes again

It lays and rests its eyes

But God is merciful 

And restores hearts

To the way they’re supposed to be

So the next year the flower is fully restored

With the love and sweetness

For the bee

So when people come into your life

And take all they can get

Don’t let it get you down or upset

Don’t let your petals

Fill with tears and get wet

Instead wait for the season to pass

And the cycle to renew

Have patience for 

The sweetness that God has put in you

Is a mercy 

For all those you endue
