My Love

by Tim McMahon

Sitting on a bench
in the forest with the trees,
looking all around
my mind it was at ease.

When looking to the left
there was a big surprise,
a big black ball of fur
looking in my eyes.

I looked back at him
for a second we would freeze,
the thought ran through my mind
walk away would you please.

Only for a moment
he was a bit surprised,
that’s when he would see
the whites of my eyes.

It was just a little bear
with fur as black as coal,
he put fear into my heart
and courage in my soul.

An amateur poet that likes to share my thoughts.
