DESTINATIONS - From There To Here and Here To There
THE BUG'S TALE
The little bee looked around his hive
My, how this place is alive
His thoughts were on the place, of which he was a part
Is this all there is, was in his heart
Was this tiny little picture, his finest hour
He mused and he wondered, as he flew to the flower
The flower bowed, its head to the wind
And patiently waited, for the bee God would send
Its thoughts were on the garden, where it lived and grew strong
What do I do here, it questioned so long
Does it matter to any, that here's where I stand
So deep in its wondering, it missed the smile of the man
The man looked around, sighing so slight
At the flower he touched, God's creation so bright
His thoughts on the cycle of seasons, that life always brings
It goes on without me, I can't change a thing
If I don't make a difference, then why should I be
So deep inward in his journey, he never noticed the tree
The tree spread its branches, offering its aid
Covering the most perplexing of God's creatures
The man, with its shade
The tree felt the pain, only the lonely can share
Its thoughts on wondering, who, if any, does care
Once part of a forest, mighty and proud
The tree looked at the mountain, its own head in the clouds
The mountain stood tall, majestic to see
Too much in its own world, to acknowledge the tree
What else do you know that's as mighty and high
What else do you know touches Heaven and Sky
What else was here since Time had begun
The mountain in its importance, had forgotten the Sun
Oh, but the Sun was a wise one, a wise one, by far
You see, it knew and appreciated, it was also a star
And the stars were a part, of God's universe
No one piece of His creation, was better or worse
The Sun where it shined in the sky, all its worth
Could see the whole picture, we call Mother Earth
For Earth was the picture, so big and so bold
Needing all of its pieces, together to hold
Though each of her charges, saw their small picture then
And wondered and dreamed, of where they fit in
But it's only in looking, back on it all
That we see how we fit, the big and the small
God in His wisdom, and glory and pain
Created and recreated, it over again
Then when He was done, with what flowed from His heart
He was pleased that we would always, be a part of each part
Because we wouldn't know this, till our lives were done
He left us in the care of, our welcoming Sun
So, the Sun told the mountain, be proud and be strong
With all other mountains, sing God's loving song
Then the mountain told the tree, be strong and at peace
With the forest around you, love God's greatest and least
And the tree told the man, be at peace and live well
With your children beside you, praise God where you dwell
Now the man told the flower, where you dwell is a gift
You are our Garden of Eden, your beauty, a lift
To the bee, spoke the flower
Thank you, for all
Because of you, I won't miss
And lifted her head, for the little bee's kiss
The little bee looked, around at his hive
Thinking how great, just to be alive
Smiling in the ways, that only little bees do
Said Yes, this IS my finest hour, I think
DON'T YOU
