Every morning in the rising sun
through the wood across the stream to see
a bear cub follows his dad for fun
the bumbling flight of a honey bee

From his dad before and before that
combing the wood for the hidden hives
this morning chore done before they sat
the ones of legend that hunger drives

Always caught near meadows with Daisy
the hard working bumble bee is found
Buttercup, Susan's that are lazy
flower to flower and all around

Every morning in the rising sun
the taste of honey turns to dry leaves
the bees are followed where there is none
and through the years each father grieves

From his dad before and before that
except this morn when the bear cub chose
the morning chore done before they sat
to play in the new morning meadows

Running and rolling in the flowers
now and then sighting the precious bees
funfilled moments ran into hours
flying and swarming the endless seas

Every morning in the rising sun
the bear cub seeks out the fresh flower
as bees are followed as always done
the ones that hide the hidden power

For in their mists never to be found
lies the golden honey in a stream
buried in a hunk of wood and ground
close to the flower that forms its dream

Any dream is worth the chase,
only one is worth living.

Fear is a blindness, heart is the cure.   -   C. Belville 02
