The ol' bear By Charles F Blanchard
Charles F Blanchard 1952 (Springfield, MA)
Alone in my cave
my emotions to myself I save
with no-one wanting to share
wanting to be
like the lonely ol' bear.
\A presence rushed in
my slumber disturbed
need not worry
my anger was not stirred.
\Relishing in forgotten fancies
reaching for ol' memories
hoping to find in tomorrow
what was lost in yesterday's sorrow.
\The one who awoke the beast
revealed in a trist
that in this cave
was not a grudging ol' bear
but really a Teddy Bear.
