babies v, b, j and r
toss their coins
in the fountain
at the zoo
and the
giant
stone bears
standby
ever
at the watch
and keep
their secrets
as
they
send
their
wishes
whispered
from
tiny lips
out
into the
great big
universe
—
where there is great love, there are always wishes.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
The stoic bears will guard their dreams and protect their hopes and fortify their courage. They have a smart grand to take them to such a place, Peaches.
