Sir Bumble

Sir Bumble

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

life is everywhere

"

As I watched Sir Bumble

Run across the driveway

I wondered what tragedy

Had befallen him this day

So used to soaring

On wings so thin

Now he was running

On six legs to carry him

I called to ask

A pointless effort

He kept going fast

Hoping his tiny legs would last

So easy for us

To take life for granted

We shouldn't believe

We are that enchanted

Sir Bumble somehow knew

That if he couldn't run

The end would come shortly

His life would be through

Life on this planet

Is a struggle everywhere

Take care of yourself

You may be the only one to care
