My Bear Peering with great beauty Our eyes were fixed in meet He gracefully acknowledge While paused in grateful greet Such majesty within him I never shall forget This moment of a lifetime Life's blessing that we met He seemed to pose on purpose His stance so brave and true How could I not be spellbound In nature's finest view Remembrance of this always Shall live inside my soul A walk with him in nature My heart in life he stole This moment just in passing Brought glory to my day Time in life I treasure That took my breath away.
