Could it be manna from heavenA
Dense viscous sweet and goldenA
A labour of love or a love of labourB
Busy bees teamwork endeavourC
Foraging forests foliage flowersD
Chance culling choicest clustersD
Consciously and subconsciouslyE
Focused sensing by occidentallyE
Scavenging to gather togetherC
Scattering far about the verdureC
To return by instinct to their hivesF
Sunrise to sunset with no off daysG

A product of bees arduous labourC
Precious honey for us all to savourC
Earth and sun s energy combinedH
By flowering plants manufacturedI
Mother nature s natural sweetenerC
Healthy food supplement for sureC
For a healthy heart and skin glowE
Eating a lot surely is bad thoughE
Liquid gold s many health benefitsJ
Unknown to animals and insectsK
Keeps them quite hale and heartyE
And should help us too practicallyE

Poet's note: I wrote this poem in October 2020. We have now switched to using honey as our choice of sweetener for beverages and food in general as a healthy alternative to plant based sugar or artificial sugar which may slowly harm us medically and physically in time. The poem aims to eulogies honey as a health giving food supplement and a natural way to keep diabetes at bay , which both my late father had and my mother suffers from now. I feel honey could be a god-given panacea for many of our medical problems and healthy living.
