The Dance of Joy


In all creation , bold or shy –
The roaring wind, or whispering breeze;
A setting sun and flaming sky;
The tender buds; the stately trees –
There is so much to marvel at!
And yet, more wonderful than these
Is life within the habitat
Of busy, buzzing honeybees.

Imagine this – they dance with joy!
The “wag-tail” dance for pollen gold;
A “nectar” dance they too employ . . .
And Nature’s wonders so unfold!
What fool will say that this design
Just happened? Who so blindly bold?
I see it as a plan Divine,
A sign on Nature’s slate enscrolled.
