The Honey Bee, by all earthly accounts, shouldn't even be
Not knowing it can't fly, it doesn't even have to try

A marvel of engineering made, no one knows how long ago
Navigates today's world even when buzzing very low

Their social system seems to exceed ours by far
Not fighting amongst themselves for an invisible star

Each has a job to do, assigned by the Creator of the universe 
Their lives run so smoothly, never having to rehearse 

The moral of this story, I think, should be
Follow God's will for your life, just like the Honey Bee
