A Bear's Tale

The sound of the river rushing makes me shiver.
The birds all around singing,
And the bluebells ringing.
Heart and soul as armadillos role
With grace and elegance
To the great bear’s cave.
With might and pride as
He strides out of his lair.
The salmons swimming with great delight
But when it turns to night, there
Hearts pumping, fast with fright as
The bear approaches for a midnight snack,
Then BOOM! A wack as he catches his prey.
After a long night of salmon fright, the bear has come to a rest,
And up above flies a dove, a beautiful symbol of peace.
Now the day has come when the wise bear leaves.
