Tina and I would swim most mornings
In the perfumed mulberry pool
It was idyllic on those hot summer days
We then looked after the bees with mother
I had always been fascinated by bees
And was given my own hive at a young age
Which I religiously looked after
Until we left the country of my birth
I am now a celebrated poet and write often
About our mornings in the mulberry pool
My summers with Tina and the beautiful gentle bees
It seems as fresh today as if it was yesterday
