by Ethel Mortenson Davis
I am the healing bear.
I will lick you
all over
from head to foot.
I will take
the bad smells out
of your fur.
I will bring you
up out of the labyrinth
and will heal you.
I will show you
the face of your child
so small you can
hold it in your hand.
I am the healing bear,
and I will heal you.
