We Need Your Help!

We ensure that our young creators are fairly paid for their work, but all the content on VoiceBox remains free for you to enjoy on a safe, ad-free platform. To keep it this way, we rely on the generous support from readers like you.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Every penny goes directly to supporting young creators, and it only takes a minute of your time. Thank you!

Little Bee

A poem about choosing to simply exist instead of buzzing around like a little bee.

Buzzing little bee,

Spin around each tree,

But don’t forget to stop,

Let your tiny wings drop,

Silly little bee,

Sweet honey comes for free,

Zooming around the skies,

But do observe the sunrise,

Happy little bee,

No sting comes to me,

For you only wish to soar,

But don’t forget to snore,

Frantic little bee,

Scanning every flower’s seed,

Always craving more,

But there’s life to adore,

Busy little bee,

If only you could see,

How you’re always buzzing,

But you never simply be.
