In a cozy corner of the woods so fair, Lived a small cartoon bear with bright red hair. His strawhat was yellow, his vest the same hue, And our little bear was known as Redd True. Redd loved adventures, long walks and hikes, Exploring new paths and riding his bike. With a heart full of courage, and spirits so high, He waved to the birds and the bugs as they'd fly. One sunny morning, with skies crystal clear, Redd pondered the "what ifs" that often drew near. "What if," he thought, "I get lost on the trail? What if my courage and boldness just fail?" "What if the storm clouds roll in while I roam? What if I wander too far from my home?" These thoughts spun around in his head 'til he sighed, But today was the day he'd cast doubts aside! So he strapped on his vest and set out to find, An adventure to challenge both body and mind. He traversed the forest, climbed over a log, And found himself face-to-face with a fog. A fog so thick, it could swallow you whole, But Redd took a breath, ready to roll. He remembered his friends, the lessons they'd shared, "Face your 'what ifs' head-on," they had declared. Through the fog, he trudged, every step with care, 'Til the sun broke through and cleared the air. On the other side was a valley so green, The most beautiful place that he'd ever seen. "What if," he smiled, "I had stayed, full of fright? I'd have missed out on this spectacular sight!" And with that thought, Redd's "what ifs" took flight, No longer a burden, his heart now light. His journey continued over hill and dale, With each new "what if" turning into a tale. "What if I climb to that peak way up high? What if I ride the river, letting it guide?" For every "what if" that entered his mind, Redd found an action to leave it behind. With each brave step, his worries grew small, Until the grandest adventure trumped them all. For Redd realized in his quest and his play, That "what ifs" are just fears that get in your way. With a strawhat on his head and the sun setting west, He returned to his den for a well-earned rest. So here's to brave Redd, the bear who'd attest, "To overcome 'what ifs', simply do your best. Don't let them stop you, or make you feel small, For a bear with a heart can conquer them all."
