Peaceable Kingdom

When four bear cubs were granted space To stroll along one day, There was no sudden sad disgrace Because they chose to play... Thus side-by-side without a brawl, Just like four musketeers, With all-for-one and one-for-all They each shared smiles not fears... Of course, they'd bonded like bears do, Each knew there was no harm, They faced that morning rendezvous With no trace of alarm... Thus peace was reigning, kingdom-wise, With gentle harmony And surely that's the greatest prize That's ever meant to be... If only humans chose this path, Aspired to its aims, There'd be more reasons still to laugh, Less reasons to call names... Yet love takes time in every heart To blossom like the rose, Before its blessings can impart And lifelong friendship grows...
