Have you ever thought
That love,
Is like honey?
It's sweet,
And rich,
And looks glorious.
But that's not all.
Honey,
Some consider it oversweet,
And sticky,
And even
A trap.
Despite all this,
We still add honey
To our milk
And in our cookies,
And boast about
How healthy
It's making us.
And the bees?
Don't even get me going
On the bees!
Such heroes,
The bees
Putting in all that effort
To make all that honey.
So I'd say,
Honey, it's a lot like love.
It can be sublime,
But it can also be lethal.
But the bees
Still put in
All that effort,
And still make
All that honey.

Put in the effort;
Be a bee.
