Upon the earth it did sprout
It was a flower I assume
Its petals would begin to shout
Soon the flower was in full bloom
It had red, and pink, and white
Its nectar sweet as honey
Bees and bugs would come for a bite
In the summer when it's sunny
It was the fairest blossom of all
Until a person appeared and took it
I remember well, great tears did fall
When I saw no flower my pulse did quit
The person decorated it with ribbons and bows
And sold it for a small amount of bills
It was bought by one who didn't know
The purpose to life that small flower filled
Its purpose was to be a home
A home for a lonely bee
A bee, lonely, just like me
