Bear Johnston: Found Poems: Bear Thanks God
9. Bear Thanks God
Never had mother who stayed by my side,
Or a father to touch me with pride, (1)
But it's true any day that I find time to play,
This boy's not my decision, but God's sweet provision.
Life seems to mean we all share joy and pain,
Risks we take sometimes challenge day’s grain,
But success that I've found seems to be quite profound,
For Boy tugging at heartstrings reveals Love real bearings.
Bear Johnston’s Comments:
(1) It seems miraculous but ‘Teddy Bears’ have no father or mother. They just are!
