The Great Bear Chair Fable
Great Mother just had to be
with The Children of the Star.
It was time to meet Baby Grace, and her
new sister, Kennedei, and of course, Rae Ann. Forrester was carrying
the ring... the Wedding was great and the
new family and my family and all the grand children and great grand children calling me with
hugs. GrammaSue,
grammaSue, grammaSue,
with enough hugs to last at least a little while.
It always started when Grand Mother caught site
of the Wicker Chair when it
was empty.
There are no bears there in The Great Bear Chair and Grand
Mother cried and cried.
Mothers Day under the Magic Tree, May,
2002. The children of the star, it seems, are always far way in
some other village or on the other side of the mountain. Time
for great mother to sit under the magic tree.
Dream the dreams that
mothers dream.
Three small children on a horse called Moon.
Birthdays and bubbles and a huge red balloon. Melody
turned nine. and now t is spring. Sage was home for a wee
small visit tiny bye bye tears and great grandbaby kisses Rachel nd
he sweetest little red headed girl in the world paid a Rae Ann
visit in my inside sky and rainbows jumped Out from the rainy sky.
Courtney is a teen and her poem is
"Fear Poem"
"When Someone
Is All Alone"
by Cortney Kromenacker.
When a small child is surrounded
by bullies. When the sky gets black with storm clouds. When you see
someone with a gun. ...And me on
a
stormy night all alone in my house.
No time for crying Grand
Father said.
The bears have all gathered for tea. There are
Black
Bears and White bears,
and those that go bump in the
Night Bears.
Some Bears are only for night. Bears to guard over your dreams. Soft
cuddly Easter Bear is there in your dreams. Rabbit and
the Cuddly
Bear in a basket and it is looking a lot like spring.
Santa Bear
takes a nap before or maybe after the Holiday Celebration of
Lights, when nights grow longer and darker along the Maumee River and
The Great Lakes storms move across the Ohio Valley where the memory
of America's Autumn of Tears . . . nine eleven 2001 is ever
present.
Memories
are built around The Bears. Sailor Bear is
here and
came over to visit and sat on the Great Bear Chair
Elvis Bear and Bugger Share
and Sugar Bear are all here. Two good buddies hat are always there
are Sugar Bear and Bugger Share. |

Bugger Share is not a
Bear you would invite to a Tea Party as he has really really bad
manners, however he was always there, playing on the floor some here
with his wheel toys Playing with the Jakester, Wondering why littl
girls were lways getting ready for one Tea Party after another.
Through out the years we make great memories of he times we enjoyed.
A Tea Party for Tiffany was great fun. It
all began in a snow storm when we were snowed in During the blizzard
of 1978. We made a picnic and giggled. We had plenty of time to
pretend So we fished out the window untill we caught a Lake Erie
Shark. We called all of our friends and prepared a fabulous feast.
Abbey played the flute in the garden
Little Lotta Bear came home
with Jay popping his cork gun on the wall. ourtney in the Flower
Garden looking cute.
Remember the TeaParty we had with the frogs we
invited? That was when we were waiting away the day for
Nikki to be
born. Grand Father sent his little white lamb out to watch over The
little one, the child with the Melody In her soul. It was springtime
when her mama brought home, The Nikki Bear and the two loved each
other Very much, They could frolic And play all he live long day
especially in the Magic Time of the Tea Party. And so it was.
Uncle
Marty Bear was always there. All of the Children of the Star loved
him very much and whenever or herever the children gathered this
bear was there. When it came to tea parties he could not understand
ll the fuss over such tiny cups.
