For ~ Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Honey / Bee ~ The Ant The Spider and The Bee

 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 

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

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

 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 

the strongest of the three -

Then perhaps I choose to be not a spider, ant, but rather a bee'
