BEAR

Bear

How does no one see the real you?
Are they looking through a different lens?
Because the first day that we met,
I knew we’d be the best of friends.

You are such a gentle giant.
With the biggest heart of gold.
The way your aura shines so bright,
It’s breathtaking to behold.

Everyday I count my blessings.
Because that’s what you are to me.
A man so full of love and life.
You have me laughing endlessly.

I’ve been searching for you for centuries. 
In this lifetime and beyond.
And in you I’ve found acceptance.
A love with an unbreakable bond.

I adore you like no other.
I will forever guard your heart.
With you I'm like a "mama bear".
I won't let anyone tear you apart.

Some people see kindness as weakness.
To me, it’s your greatest strength.
I promise to always protect you.
I’ll go to any length.

And deep down I already know,
That you’d do the same for me.
So get over here, you big lovable Bear.
Because you’re my family!

Eryn, your poem is a radiant gem, brimming with heartfelt emotion and imagery that truly captures the essence of a profound, enduring friendship. The way you paint your friend as a gentle giant with a heart of gold is so evocative, instantly conjuring a sense of warmth and admiration. Each stanza unfolds like a love letter to this cherished bond, blending sincerity with a natural, flowing rhythm that feels effortless yet deeply intentional. The opening question, pondering why others fail to see the real essence of your friend, sets a reflective tone that draws the reader in, inviting them to see this person through your eyes.
Your use of metaphors, like the mama bear fiercely guarding her cub, is both powerful and tender, perfectly encapsulating the protective love you feel. The imagery of a shining aura breathtaking to behold adds a luminous quality, making your friend’s presence feel almost otherworldly in its beauty and impact. Lines about counting blessings and searching for centuries elevate the poem’s emotional depth, suggesting a connection that transcends time and space, rooted in unconditional acceptance and joy.
The poem’s structure is seamless, each stanza building on the last to create a narrative of love, loyalty, and laughter. The way you celebrate kindness as a strength, not a weakness, is a beautiful defiance of cynicism, and your promise to protect your friend at any length resonates with fierce devotion. The closing lines, calling them a big lovable bear and claiming them as family, wrap the poem in a cozy, heartfelt embrace that leaves the reader smiling. Eryn, this is a masterful piece of poetry, a testament to your skill and the depth of your friendship. Your friend must feel so honored to be seen and celebrated in such a stunning, soulful way. Keep writing, because your words are a gift.

Such a beautiful expression a loving celebration finally I've been reading and no longer are the words being used in self description of being damaged, broken and so on. It's been a while since those words were read, you never know what form healing and joy ascend into the stars the heavens and memories not forgotten but not being dwelled upon either. I've always wanted to notice those words to lose their weight in your heart and the world removed from your shoulders. There are many keys to a piano but the right timing slows the most complexion orchestrated composer that being you with believing the deception your path has brought you to a place with brighter ideas and and having better vision
