The ant the spider and the bee
I wonder which is best of the three
If I see the qualities of insects three,
all are unique company
each created superb in structure
each created superb in structure
form color shape and ability
All three have the sting, a
security weapon against the enemy
the ant has a hill the spider a web,
and hive is for the bee
all three industrious, restless,
focused, productive in unity
the ant has a hill the spider a web,
and hive is for the bee
all three industrious, restless,
focused, productive in unity
a pleasure to observe, a treasure to know,
a gift to enjoy nature creates miracles for
the benefit of mankind, a pity, if spiders ants
the benefit of mankind, a pity, if spiders ants
and bees are killed, no honey, a cause to cry;
I wonder if I were an ant what a tiny
creature I would be even if I were a spider,
even then very frail and thin I would be
Ah but if I were a bee, then I would be
Ah but if I were a bee, then I would be
the strongest of the three -
Then perhaps I choose to be not a spider, ant, but rather a bee'

It's a hard choice. For survival under duress, maybe I'd go for the spider.
Respected Dr Susan indeed such decisions are difficult but it is surely an interesting situation. Much obliged for your kind visit regards
I enjoyed this contemplation. As bees are endangered, perhaps the ant is a good choice - though their lives are likely very brief. Nice to see you, Anjum!
This is incredibly lovely in its depth and philosophy!!❤️ Kudos.
Yeah...Bees are sweetness itself and strength.
Bees do have a lot of commuting to do at work whereas the spider has an easier life working at home. Ants on the other hand didn't have time to chat so clearly they are under a dominant regime have no free time at all.
Respected Sherry Sanaa Sumana and Mr Old Egg, Thank you all for your interesting comments and kind visits. After a long time, I too am feeling good and so grateful to be sharing thoughts and ideas with all my friends. Welcome All and Thank you PU
Ah, I definitely would prefer, of these choices, to be a bee as well!! Nice to see you!

I love the play between "bee" and "be". And I, too, if I could would bee.
Thank you Friend Magaly
