This was written when my oldest daughter Stevie asked me to write about her teddy bear..this is what I came up with!


TEDDY BEAR

Teddy bear Teddy bear
You’re my best friend
You hear all my thoughts
You're here till the end

Teddy bear Teddy bear
Hold on to my dreams
Keep them safe with you
And with you they'll keep

Teddy bear Teddy Bear
Your friendship won't cease
There's no finer friend
You bring me such peace

Teddy bear Teddy bear
You're falling apart
I've had you so long
You are in my heart

Teddy bear Teddy bear
You can't leave me
What would I do?
What will life be?

Teddy bear Teddy bear
Mommy will fix you
She has to I know it
Cause she loves you too!

This would make a wonderful gift of an answer to any child and I know that when it comes from the heart of a parent for their own child it will forever hold special meaning and purpose.  Well done and a beautiful night-time poem to send the little ones to bed with.

Sounds like it belongs in a children's book of poems. Very sweet. I fondly remember my old teddy. His fur was almost gone, like the velveteen rabbit, but I still loved him.

Teddy bear is stuffed with love
and memories of
the fun and laughter we shared,
days ago,
years ago,
when I was small,
and now I stand tall,
I grew,
but teddy stayed the same
She's still brown
and still has plaid paws -
natures laws
keep her still
as I grow.  

Big smile, and many thanks for sharing your wonderful poem. Here's to teddy's all over the world!

Sincerely,
Samia H.

Oh,Cindi~
This is just adorable.
The graphic so adds to the sweetness of your poem.

I just love 'mommy' poetry~
It's so genuinely inspired.
*Hugs* to you and Stevie~

Cindi, I couldn't resist this as I love my teddy bear too. A very beautiful and sentimental poem.

*sobs* My teddy bear fell apart because my mum never fixed it. Please dont do that to your daughter. It hurts so bad to have that happen to you. Thank you so much for posting this poem.
