The Bear

A beautiful memory

I see out the window

A creature that was not there before

So I run to my mother

And we both slip out the back door

It sits next to a yellow slide

Would we be safer inside?

I am not in fear

The only place I want to be right now is here

I bet it uses the whole day to explore

That would explain why I don't see it here more

I wish I could go closer

But I know that would be a mistake

That I do not want to make

So I'll just keep my distance

sitting here on the stairs

Wishing I could be over there

with the black bear
