B Bear Poem by Marilyn White

Down the street and up a hill
Lived something special that I never
Got to know until it was too late
For me to even realize that I could have
Had something to call my own if only
I wasn’t so caught up in a dream
That never was going to shine all that bright
O the shame that I have when I try
Not to look and when you do how
I don’t want to blush and start to dream
About something that I can never have
But if I would have known it could
Have bee n but I was worried about
Something else at the time me but
For once I thought about it but it
Came just a little too late because
Here we are in new year and you’re
No longer to talk to your dream you
Have to follow I wish you the best
I guess my little deep secret
This shouldn’t’ be this hard
