You face me when answers aren't clear or neat,
When choices clash and none feel complete.

I wander through the forest wide,
With fur as thick and strong as pride.
In winter's cold, I rest and hide,
But when I wake, I roam with stride.
My roar shakes trees, my paws leave marks,
Yet I seek the quiet in the dark.
A creature wild, both calm and fierce—
What am I, who loves the woods to pierce?

What is a bear?

I keep things close so they don’t stray,
A silent guard that won’t give way.

I travel in steps, unseen yet true,
From sky to earth, then back anew.

I’m the fire behind your grin,
The burst of joy that comes from within.

What am I, where wealth can dance?

What is the stock market?

I once was common, now I’m rare,
