Like Honey

Trees are known for the fruits they bear. Flowers for their distinctive bouquets. Waterfalls are known for their overflowing beauty. Bees for their honey and ballet. Oceans are known for their vastness. The sun and the moon for their light. Clouds are known for their wispiness. Birds for the elegance of flight. Meadows are known for their peacefulness. Mountains for peaks tall and grand. Rivers are known for their perpetual currents Beaches for their endless sand. It seems nature has given everything in her domain traits to be adored. Which makes me wonder what's the one trait humans are famous for? Oh, if we could only stop our hatred of one another, stop our discrimination and our wars, wouldn't it be wonderful if when we're finally gone it was kindness we were remembered for? Then we could proudly take our place in nature… like sunlight peeking through the trees If only kindness could be as natural to humans as honey is to the bees.
