Rescuing a bee and other things that (maybe) matter

I rescued a bee

Drowning in our pool

I scooped her out

With a small net

Then placed her near flowers

It made me feel good

But then I asked Chat GPT

“How long do bees live?”

Not long

It turns out

Most die in 45 days

Or less

So why bother?

Why prolong the inevitable?

Does anything I do

At this point of my life

Really matter?

Isn’t everything

Inevitable?

Maybe

But

I still like

Rescuing bees

And mattering
