Humble B. Bumble : 26. Bee ambitious

 
 
We always seem to fly together;  
I’m gonna fly out on my own.  
I sure do like working with you,  
But inside my heart I live alone.  
Maybe one day we will find a way,  
For you to become the bee I travel with in peace;  
But I don’t see that happening any time soon, unfortunately.  
You have been a good friend to me for all this time  
And when I return, I will find you  
And I will bee…so happy!  
 
 
But for now I must fly solo;  
One day I will return.  
I will come back one day to this hive and all that which I know!  
But for now, I have to go.  
Next time you see me I will have a thousand new stories to tell.  
Do not waste your life dreaming about me;  
Do not linger and cease and yearn.  
We will meet again some day, I promise,  
So do not bee too concerned.  
 
 
There is no ‘Us’ for me, in this place, at this time;  
But give it time and things could change.    
Maybe we will find our way.  
Until that day I will save all my honey  
And wait on you in all ways.  
If I can bee of service, then nothing could bee a trouble to me.  
If you would like a spoon full of honey to pour into your tea,  
Then please;  
Allow me.  
I will oblige you this morning, for I have nothing better to do.  
You can only see me thinking of leaving here, through teary eyes,  
But smile, please, you can already see I need to find a new view.  
 
 
I am a little bee with big ambitions!  
One day you will see me  
And hopefully my dreams will have come to fruition.  
The orange horizon sure does look tempting to me;  
I wonder how far the sky goes?  
I have been speaking for years now about how I would leave,  
How I would find out what lies beyond;  
I only stayed this long because I was worried it would bee too cold.  
 
 
I guess you already know what happens,  
When a bee begins speaking about leaving.  
It never seems to chase its dreams;  
Well, I will be a unique bee!  
I’m heading over the trees!  
Going to disappear behind the bushes;  
I will bee last seen heading for the sun!  
My mind is made.  I have done my days  
And retirement sure looks like fun.  
 
 
There is a great big world out there to go and see;  
Going to travel and view it all, just you watch me!  
I have already flown a whole mile today!  
And once I have rested, I will fly again!  
 
 
The ocean may bee difficult to cross over,  
But I will find safe passage aboard a ship.  
I will hide from newspapers and angry eyes,  
But I should bee ok to make it to the other side…I think  
And when the ship docks into port,  
I will find the nearest sugary drink.  
 
 
This is my plan so I thought I would tell you before I set off…  
So; tell me.  What do you think?    
Am I ready…?  
Or not?
