I went back into the forest deep
but I knew I would get no sleep
I was stopped by a very huge bear
who said I had no business there

Quivering while putting on my best smile
I stuttered"pl.. pl.. please, Mr Bear just awhile"

I promised not to come this deep, and it  I do
intend to keep,But I must share my soul ,so
you will know,all mankind is not so cold"

"There are those fighting to save your land
for you, doing all they can  do,so please tell the
others I didn't mean to trespass but wanted to
see if I could find ways to make things better for
everyone,which I shouldn't have done,and won't
do again

Thank you for listening,may I go now, please?"

"Dear Lady,we understand you mean well,but
many others have come,and shown us hell,so
please understand we have no enmity toward
man,just those who cannot learn to live and let
live,and stay in their own territory"

The crowd of other forest creatures that had gathered, all said in unison,"Yes, that is how
we all feel, so go back now and tell people to
stop their selfish destruction of all Creator's
beauty,with their ugly cement. We see your soul
and know you meant well,there are others like
you who will see reason if they care enough to do something, the way your Mr Ed does, give him
our regards."

We said our farewells, and I can tell, they
want to share friendship with us if they know
they can trust, and I'm glad to let them have
their rightful place, which Creator gave them
with grace, and I hope we all will do the same
