Early in the Morning

Early in the Morning


Early in the morning,
Before the sun lit the sky.
Little Tulip began to rub,
The sleep from her eye.

As she stretched her elfin legs,
She let out a tiny sneeze.
Then she noticed in the distance,
The buzzing of some bees.

With Mama bear still snoring,
All curled up nice and snug.
Tulip, sitting apart from her,
Was pawing at a slug.

Then all of the sudden,
Tulip heard a rumble.
While looking down at her belly,
She took quite a stumble!

Mama Bear awoke,
To the sound of Tulips bum,
Landing in the mud,
Rolln’ ‘round like a drum!

Then Mama Bear let out,
A yawn that was enormous!
“Tulip, let’s go fishn,
only the two of us.”

The girls started to stroll,
Closer toward the Stream.
Salmon jumping EVERYWHERE!
It was almost as a dream!

“Oh Mama,’ Tulip sighed,
“Thank-You for bringing me!”
And, with that she began to run,
Completely feeling free!

Mama Bear lifted her snout,
As she took in the scent from the breeze.
Wild flowers! Oh what a delight!
Oh no, now she had to sneeze!!!

She knew it'd be nothn’ like Tulip’s,
Not quiet, as she would want.
When Mama let this one out,
She pretended to be nonchalant!

“Oh, goodness.” Mama thought aloud,
She’d hoped the Salmon hadn’t heard.
She immediately sent Tulip that look,
‘Not a peep, nor sound, not a word’!

Mama Bear could plainly see,
Tulip’s confusion was very clear.
She knew she just couldn’t keep still,
The Salmon fleeing was her greatest fear!

So, Mama softly whispered to her,
“Sweetie, please don’t you fret,
Just lean right here against me,
So no longer will you be a threat!”

Tulip took her Mama’s advice,
She had to stand up in order to lean.
Mama smiled at Tulip’s position,
It actually made her look mean!

Soon they both were happy,
Having fun was what they did best.
When they were finished fishing,
No longer were they be stressed.

Their morning was just about over,
They had only one thing left to do.
(For both girls were vegetarian,
Leaves and berries were all they would chew.)

They knew they had to deliver,
Their newfound friends back in the stream.
It would be very hard for Tulip,
She’d have nothing left but the dream.

On their way home, Tulip listened,
To what her Mama had to say.
"My dear, sweet little Tulip,
you will always remember this day."

A day with a stamp in her memory,
The ink would never fade.
For here, just her and her Mama,
Was the wonderful day they had made.
