" Little Bear "

Little bear so tiny, held in Mother
Natures arms.
Keeping you from predators and
other forms of harm.



Cuddling your furry body with her
soothing touch,
Waiting for your mother who is
missing you so much.



Your mother is surely beside herself
with worry.
Fear has made her apprehensive
and made her really hurry.



Remembered thoughts of mama bear
and all her tender care, reflects
in your sweet face.
She will search tirelessly, until she
finds your hiding place.



She will scold you and cuff your little
fuzzy wuzzy head.
You will be so happy, this you will
not even dread.



For safe again you'll be in your
mothers loving care.
You will stay close this time and
none the worse for wear.
