Mother Of Pearls Poem by Denis Martindale

My camera clicked and caught the scene,
Three polar bears in view,
I didn't mean to intervene,
Yet this was somewhat new...
The young ones walking, Mum close by,
All staring to my right,
While I looked through the camera's eye
Just taking in the sight...

This time I knew three's not a crowd,
The trio looked content,
The Mum seemed smiling, somewhat proud,
As if each were her friend...
To think, that Nature grants us love
In such a wondrous way,
That's why I humbly looked above
And thanked God for this day...

Three polar bears, what could they know?
This world is filled with life!
And everywhere that Man can go,
He's seen what can survive...
For Man's explored and learnt this truth,
That love stands ever near,
Today, these polar bears are proof,
They've made it crystal clear...
