I miss a certain buzzing

from a certain bee,

He is a tiny little thing

who used to visit me.

I’m not sure when it happened

but one day he was gone,

He also took his friends with him

I hope they won’t be long.

Without him, I feel lonely

My flowers miss him too,

It’s too quiet with no buzzing

My garden seems quite blue.

The daffodils need him back

to pollinate them all,

And the crocuses and daisies

They seem to droop and fall.

We need our little bee friend

and all his mates as well,

Or our gardens will disappear

How quickly, we can’t tell.
