Mama Bear and Her Baby

      Mama Grizzly Bear and her Baby

Her hair looks grayish and brown;

Seen in Grizzlies all over the world.

But this meadow is hers and

No other animal will try to take it.

For them the task is too tough.

In B.C.’s hot summer sun,

She looks at her cub in silence;

With only an occasional grunt.

She knows that world’s humans

Are not likely to come there to hunt.

She looks down at her baby

And gives a deep sigh

Her last little ones, after only

Six months, had started to die.

And left her quite lonely

Now, in the sunshine of summer

She cuddles her young one

In warm wonderful heat

And reaches down for more grass

Something she decides to eat
