Connie Webb - Just Outside My Door

When I was a kid
I would shout
“Watch out, a bee! ”
Today while admiring the purple flowers
Growing alongside my home
By the deep green grass
I watched this bee doing nothing
But enjoying the flowers like me
He wasn’t a little bee
No, he was a big black bumble bee
It is just that today
I wasn’t scared
And as I watched
Two white butterflies appeared
Having a nice time
Landing on flowers and leaves
And I felt happy
Knowing there is this whole other world
Just outside my door.
