City Bear

Saw a bear cub on the street
But it was just a toy,
Likely fallen from the grasp
Of someone’s girl or boy.

I looked around for strollers
But I didn’t spot a one.
Possibly some toddler’s tantrum
May have just begun.

Two other people saw the bear
And one bent to retrieve it.
I’m glad he did – it would have been
Quite wrong to simply leave it.

He put it on a light pole box
Where it was plainly seen,
And if the owner found it there,
It would be safe and clean.

I passed that corner later on;
The toy was not in sight.
I really hope that someone helped
That bear and child unite.
