In this small box, my love,you'll not find a ring,but instead, a brave, little bee.He'll be dead by morn, having given his lifedefending his flowers against me.I felt his stingwhile picking the small, purple pansiesgrowing wild along the roadside,in hopes of an afternoon bouquet for you.And I grieved the sting,more for him than me,knowing full well the price he paidfor my small pain.And I allowed him his victory,leaving his flowers as a memory,and brought you insteadthis brave, little bee,who proves there is loveeven in the smallest of things.
