The Proud Bumblebee

The Proud Bumblebee [aka A Children's Play]
 
Though I could simply bow my head,
And mope and moan and cry.
 
Though I could look to high heaven
And ask Almighty, "Why?"
 
Though I could watch the eagle as...
It gracefully glides by,
 
Or heed the smartest scientists,
Who say I should not try. 
 
Since I am the Proud Bumblebee,
I spread my wings and fly,
 
And just like those most gracefully birds,
I too, soar through, the sky!
