A Poem for You

No fear...
Said the polar bear to her young
Before they scampered out onto the ice flow.

No fear...
Said the bird to her young
Before they took flight.

No fear...
Said the mountain goat to her young
Before they began to climb.

No fear...
Said the whale to her young
Before they headed out to open sea.

No fear...
Said the wolf to her young
Before they entered the dark forest.

No fear... echoed... mother nature.
No fear... said I.
Sometimes on occasion - more than once.
