Mirel is a queen bee

Mirel is a queen bee
with a hive.
She is busy
in the messy business
of making honey.
She is both:
a worker and a queen
like all of us
21st century bees.

She is a be-ute-ous bee
with crisp fuzzy stripes and wings--
oh my, her wings are a wonder.

They take her hithter and yon
from continent to continent.
She touches down
in her mission
to gather sweetness.
She is a power bee.
She is a liberated bee.

It is hard work
to turn all you see
into goodness.
It is hard work
to gather thoughts,
carry them for miles,
and store them up
in the proper cell.

It is hard work
honey coating
your memories...

So that you might be rich
in what matters.
