White Bear Cub

Out in the forest, I have spied
A black bear with her cub beside.
The cub, white as new fallen snow
And a real rarity, I know.

I wondered what the future held,
For this creature I beheld.
Would mankind let the years unfold?
Allow this bear grow to be old?

Or would some hunter selfishly
Destroy his life so he could be
Stuffed and mounted for display
Or made into a rug, someday?

Whatever spirit guards the bear,
I hope will hide him off somewhere
And let his life be as it should.
A wild bear living in the wood!

This is great. You are so respectful of nature. That has to be your faith shining through.

Dear Joyce:  I suspect the Native Americans would have a story about him.  He was seen in Michigan last June.  Unfortunately, I did not see him except in photographs!

Love

Dear Annie:  He was sighted and photographed last June shortly after he was born.  Haven't heard anything about him since, so I too, hope he is safely hidden in some deep woods!

Love
