The Story Of The
"Bear's Kingdom"

An Old Mama Bear lying in pain, slowly dying,
In the dark, alone against all, too weak to carry on
Though thy pain isn’t why she’s crying;
It’s the fear for her children’s home, once gone


It’s her dying habitat she so neglected
The golden steppes where her cubs played
The mountains so proudly erected,
Rivers and lakes, to protect she failed


Lying there, her gasps cutting thinner,
A bouncing fluffy ball jumps in from the dark
Followed by a human figure,
Straight as a birch tree, blue eyes with a spark


“Who are thee?”, wondering is Big Old Bear
“You, Young Man, and this jolly little devil
What’s the purpose of that chair?
When to sit I’m all too numb and feeble”


And while her tears the cub keeps licking,
The Man leans over, his eyes so calm,
Bringing words in whisper to her weeping
Placing her head onto his strong arm


"Sleep in peace, and free of fear Big Old Mama,
For I have heard your fears all too loud
A throne I drag behind me, Big Old Mama,
A seat for this cub to make you proud"


"For I swear too you here big old mama,
So long my heart and mind are full of force,
I will grow this cub big old mama,
Into a giant bear with mighty paws"


"Through all Lands, Seas and Skies, Big Old Mama,
All Steppes, Mountains, Rivers you so fear for,
Will again hear one day Big Old Mama,
Forever deafening and almighty roar"


An Old Mama Bear lying in pain, slowly dying,
Feels her heart in a last joy
A fainted smile replaces crying,
As She looks at her Jolly Little Boy


Suddenly, a white feather from the black,
Waving down, disrupting thy scene
Snow white dove lands on deck,
Ear of wheat in her stark rose beak


She flaps her wings as The Man offers his arm
She’s a messenger of Peace and Thrive
“Do not worry, Big Bear Mom”
He whispers one last time


“Sleep in peace and free of fear
See thy future in all wisdom
See your son protect and cheer
His Beloved Motherland
Bear’s Kingdom”
