Tribute To  Bear

If I could see through your eyes...
I would see the joy of living and loving...
not the pain of loss.

If I could see through your eyes...
I would see the colors of the soul...
not the darkness of bigotry.

If I could see through your eyes...
I would see the purity of the heart...
not the prejudices of the mind.

Teach me child, help me to grow.

I used to question, "Why?"
With every smile that graces your lips, with every tear you shed
and those you did not, with every accomplishment you share with me,
each hurdle you've stumbled over, you've dragged me right along.

Once I realized that my part in life was to be the student...
I had my answer.

Teach me child, help me to grow.
