Momma & Papa Bear

I’ve seen their anguish
I’ve seen them cry
I’ve seen them stare life down
right in the eye.
 
I’ve seen them fight for their family
and work hard for its good name.
We’ve seen them put liars to roost
and cheaters to shame.
The greatest Country of them all,
America, is the same.
 
There’s just no pair we love more,
whose growls we love to hear
they’re the den mother and den father of us all
they’re our momma and papa bear.
 
The forest is deep and thick
a cub could lose its way.
The things they hear in school
are opposite of what their parents say.
They’re confused, as confused can be
but at days end, they needn’t be.
 
Parents know what’s best for their cub
they’re the calm in the midst of all the hubbub.
Their thoughts, wisdom and teaching
are wrapped up in in a mountain of love
and guided by a plethora of prayers from above.
 
There’s just no pair we love more,
whose growls for those who need to fear, we love to hear.
They’re the den mother and den father of us all,
they’re our momma and papa bear.
