I want to tell you a story
About a flower and a bee,
Two very simple things,
Simple as just you and me
The flower just waits
For its nectar to be grabbed,
But so many hummingbirds ruined her
Which made her petals sad
Those petals started falling,
Her colors would appear frail,
It may be no hope or future
For this little daffodil
Until she spotted movement,
Buzzing in the highest tree
With a yellow and black tuxedo
Descended the nicest honey bee
He looked beyond her flaws,
Her petals low; about to die,
But he landed on her sweetly
'Cause this flower caught his eye
And deep inside his heart,
He knew his love would make things better ,
And he wanted to prove to her
That he wanted her, not just her nectar
It doesn't take the smartest genius
Or any prophet to see what's true ,
That the flower in the poem
I'm referring to is you,
Every man before I came
Was a hummingbird indeed,
They came, but what they really did
Was make it hard to love a bee .
