Bees and Ants

Bees and ants don’t get angry when they work:
Tell their bosses off for being a jerk.
And flowers don’t complain at the cool rains
Or lift their heads to find someone to blame
For the sun’s blaring haze.
We men and women toil with our trades
Spin our minds on all the plans we’ve made–
All to gain then withdraw to repose in the shade
With a Chardonnay or a book by Hemingway.
Perhaps there’s more to gain than this trivial end
A person to work for, a worthwhile friend.
His glory is greater than any sum, sip, or read
His love satisfies our every need.
When we lay down our all for Him,
He covers a multitude of sins.
