LIFE 'S LESSONS



Life’s Lesson

 by Bhuwan Joshi

Honey bees gather sweetness of the flowers
Fly so many miles day and night  
Their home of wax, a gem of architecture
Their engineering a lesson for us upright  
  
But what is inspiring is how they live  
Together without fighting with each other
They have a civil code and a sense of discipline
Incessantly working in their capacity as worker  
  
When the honey is collected in small stores
Where their no window and not a door  
They don't let anybody come to the fore  
Intruder gets their venom n lies on the floor
  
We should learn this lesson from the busy bee
How to protect ourselves and live happily
How to protect ourselves and live happily ...
