My Little Bee

My Little Bee, 

I have watched you earn your wings.

Hours upon hours

turning to years and years,

you've worked without break, 

even attempting once or twice 

to break yourself down to fit 

into the tight places 

you believed were necessary 

to fulfill the journey that's 

led here, to this point. 

Shortly, you will be given your crown

and be the queen of this 

whole fucking colony that's 

always overlooked you.

~I could not be more proud.
