Teddy Bear I was paper wrapped and ribbon tied Trembling tummy fears inside Who would hug me, who would care? I have so much love to share ~ Tearing paper, anxious fingers Oh, how sweet the memory lingers Cornflower eyes and golden tresses Warming cuddles, soft caresses ~ Ruby lamplight, candle glow That Christmastide so long ago Tinselled tree with garlands hung Those happy days when I was young ~ Through the rolling tolling years Children’s laughter, children’s tears My legs were bent my coat was tore Nobody wanted me anymore ~ Now here I lie with the bric-a-brac Faded dolls and plastic tat Sorrow clouds my soft brown eyes But made of glass so cannot cry |

Cari! I love this Teddy Bear poem very much. You brought him along with human traits, and even at the end, to be thrown into the rubble is sad. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

This is wonderful! Reminded me of a long lost and much loved stuffed animal I had as a child. ~L |
