to Andrew and Nadya ;-)
Bear cub in Russia lives
In his own strength believes
Climbing up a slippy slope
He does not give up his hope
He climbs up a snowy hill
Showing courage, might and will
Climbing up with no assistance
Takes desire, strive, persistence.
Nature’s cruel and unfair
Do the bears seem to care?
With all passion, might and strive
Bears care to survive
Sliding down a steepy slope
Cub does not give up his hope
He just climbs the slope again
Through despair, fear, pain.
Chinese proverb wisely says
If you’re striving for success
When you fail – just stand up.
Keep on going, don’t give up.
With persistence of the bear
Every challenge will be fair.
Having bear’s strength and might
You can win without a fight
