Momma Bear

From a little wee seed to a white oak tree
You have always seen the best in me
Nourished me strong so the wisdom may grow and the rings of life can multiply and flow
Momma bear, you planted a grander life for me

From a little wee cub to a hunter of a lioness
You always taught me that courage is success
Slow and steady for the kill and persistence is a skill
Momma bear, you went to battle for a grander life for me

From a little wee molecule to a fast shooting star
Child, your wishes should be more than money and caviar
Close your eyes and you’ll see that love and happiness set you free
Momma bear, you have moved time and space to show the grander life to me

From a little wee calf to a stout and giggling dolphin
Those terrifying waves, you taught me to swim
Darling, time to dive and jump because the storms you must triumph
Momma bear, you swam the seven seas to find a grander life for me

From a little wee egg to a canny blue jay
You can always fly home but those defiant winds you’ll outweigh
Leaving the nest can be scary but my Darling, just jump and pray a Hail Mary
Momma bear, you scarred your wings to build a grander life for me

From a little wee cocoon to a vibrant butterfly
You were enduring while the growing passed you by
Patiently waited until we broke free and though tireless, you waited for three
Momma bear, you waited your whole life to see the grander life for me

From a little wee girl to a strong willed woman
Your time is not only destined for the likings of a Goodman
Honey, love my be splendid but your own mind makes life open-ended
Momma bear, my time here is grander because you are in this life with me
