I SAVED A BEE TODAY

When Swimming this Morning-

I Noticed a Suffering Bee...

Each Lap I Just Kept Avoiding,

To Avoid Its Sting you see.

Suddenly my Thoughts so Foreign-

What About that BEE?

Maybe I Should Save HIM...

I Need to Set Him Free!

I Swam in Near This Friend-

With Hands Cupping the Water...

Soon His Watery Grave Would End,

Up and Out...Swoosh...Better.

I Wondered What the Bee Thought?

Was He Grateful...Did He Know?

Rationalize Would He, Just Lucky My Lot,

Or Could It Have Been My Human Foe.

Often Like Our Blessings-

Christ Was Sent to be Our Savior...

Are We Grateful or Unaccepting,

Just Chance or Luck, Maybe More!

I Saved a Bee Today-

The Bee Didn't Understand...

Jesus Saves Us Each Day,

It's Heavenly Father's Plan.

(Then it became habit, saved another bee, then another bug, and again and again!)
