A bear with a thousand names

Born a decade ago

Filled a void with renewed hope

In a bearless jungle with green slopes

Look at me, what I can do

Stand on my twos, walk on my fours

To some am a baby brown beast

And some a cuddly sleepy snore!

What a marvel, yet so shy

Will rank our jungle skyrocket high

Run with us, you baby bear

To a place where you find speed and fun

Said the bulls, all and one!

A bull I am, that’s my goal

I want speed, I want control

Said the baby bear and ran so fast

With shaky legs and a wobbly start!

Newformed muscles cried and ached

Bear and Bulls - no heed paid.

My my look at them, said the man

The bear is the bull, an addition to the clan

But the bear was tired, sweaty and weak

Still so little, with flush baby cheek

And then it happened, the baby crashed

The man sneered, the bulls left

All hope suddenly smashed!

I am me, not a bull, not a man

With my own story, with my own plan

Give me time, patience and faith

And I will show you what I can create!

And so did the baby rise

With determination, happy and wise!

In a way the baby had grown

Into its true nature, into its own!

Each stride was slow but steady

The man said - Not just an addition

But a new world is ready!
