Missing Her - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

She used to stand there on the rock,
Watching me in the pool below,
Doing my best to awe and shock,
As through the water I would go.
And she would gaze at me so coy,
And smile at me as if to say
That I was such a show off boy,
And she would turn and go her way.
And then one day when I was here,
One day she was no longer there.
Forever she did disappear,
Leaving one yearning polar bear.

So very lonely it can be
With just a fading memory.
