Finding Magic in the Smallest Moments
In today’s My Poetry Corner, I’m sharing a gentle little poem about one of my favorite people — my granddaughter, Isabella. She’s a curious, kind-hearted girl who absolutely loves nature. She enjoys fishing, hiking, kayaking, catching fireflies, and of course… watching bees on flowers.
She finds joy in the smallest details — a blooming petal, a floating bug, or a buzzing bee. But like many of us, she’s fascinated and a little nervous at the same time. Watching bees is exciting, as long as they don’t get too close!
This poem captures a quiet moment — Isabella sitting under a tree, watching a bee dance — and reminds us how magical it is to simply pause and enjoy nature.
Isabella
Isabella Marie
Sat under a tree
Watching a bee
Dance on flowers happily.

Reflection on My Isabella Poem
This poem is short, but it holds such a big piece of who Isabella is.
She’s always been drawn to nature. She’s not afraid to explore, and she pays attention to things that most people rush past — like a bee gently hovering over a flower. That’s the kind of child she is — thoughtful, joyful, and always soaking in the world around her.
I think poems like this are powerful because they remind us that beauty doesn’t have to be loud. Sometimes, a single flower and a dancing bee are enough to bring peace.
And as adults, we need these moments too — moments to sit under our own tree, watch, breathe, and remember what really matters.
