No Fear

"No fear,"
said the polar bear to her young...
before they scampered out onto the ice flow.

"No fear,"
said the bird to her young...
before they took flight from the tree branch.

"No fear,"
said the mountain goat to her young...
before they began to climb up the mountain.

"No fear,"
said the whale to her young...
before they headed out into open sea.

"No fear,"
said the wolf to her young...
before they entered the dark foreboding forest.

"No fear," echoed mother nature.

"No fear," said I.

Sometimes on occasion more than once.
