tucking me in bed
with teddy bears at my side
little girl once more
you bend and kiss my forehead
love blankets my inner child ~

Beautiful and tender. When the inner child is felt we are safe... well looked after by teddybears ... even better!

Nancylee - just getting ready for my jammies now! It's freezing out there. Thankyou sister of mine whom I miss more than anything.

Margherita - yes, we must pamper our inner child whenever we can. Thankyou.

Tanka...and then some...
this speaks of a moment
when a loved one
understands
more than life might know....

Chris...how proud I am of you!

(big hugggssssss) Oh Chris, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, this made me cry because I wish I could be tucked in like that when I was a little boy, I love teddy bears and I always held onto one when I was sad and cried everyday because I made imaginary friends with them because I had no friends and I had nightmares and my dad went out of town on many business trips so I seldom got to have him near! (sad sigh) This is very gorgeous, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, aww, I am sorry if this made you sad. Why not have teddy bears now? I do. They bring the same comfort now as they did when I was a child. Thankyou sweetie.
