It Takes Time

Aren’t the blossoms beautiful?
But, look! One’s running late.
I bet when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of them all!
Here comes a bee to collect the pollen to make honey.
Honey takes time to make, but when it’s done
You cannot stay away.
All of these things are beautiful, but
They all take time.
Blossoms have to be ready.
The bees have to work hard.
But all the waiting is worth it to us all.
