Thank you my Queen
There she was in the lea
Struggling in the grass and trees.
She was so colourful and so sweet
Glad today we got to meet.
Life without you would hurt us all,
You're so important, yet so small.
You know you will soon pass away
And want to say thank you if I may.
A little assistance to a leaf
With a flower to give you some relief,
You've worked so hard during your lifespan
I'll try to help you if I can.
The flower and plant from a friend,
To give you some clarity for the end,
You crawled up the stem and persevered
A reward for you after your short years.
This morning when the sun got warm
I looked at the flower and your lifeform,
You were still there in nectar so sweet,
Your little body , so petite .
You were so special , worked so hard
My queen you look down now from the stars.
So clever , knew what you had to do,
Felt so privileged to have helped you.
