| I was simply sitting Feeling a little down Squeezing a Teddy Bear So furry, soft, and brown. But, then my sadness rolled out And formed into a tear. As it dropped upon my Teddy, I couldn't believe my ear! In a voice as soft as he, He started to speak. I couldn't help but listen As he cuddled near my cheek. Teddy said, "I do not know The reason of your tear, But I can cheer you up If you'll only squeeze me near." Though astonished as I was, I squeezed him near and tight. I felt a warmth rise within me As I hugged with all my might. |
| Teddy softly spoke again. He started,"Don't you know? What makes a Teddy Bear special? What makes you love me so?" Still, in total amazement I could only stare, For here upon my lap Was a talking Teddy Bear! But, I swallowed hard. Then I whispered," No! What is the secret.... That makes me love you so?" Teddy's eyes twinkled As he winked at me and said, "There's more to bears than stuffing, So think of us, instead, As being made with kindness That grows within YOUR heart, For that's the very best From your most important part. Look into a mirror Beyond the fancy clothes, Beyond the fancy things, To what truly glows. As you look into that mirror, Look at you...inside. Everyone's a Teddy Bear Which, too often they will hide." |
| Teddy paused a moment. A long, deep breath he drew. He looked at me and smiled But he wasn't through, I knew. Once again Teddy spoke In his quiet way And I listened very carefully To all he had to say. "A Teddy Bear..... That sits upon a shelf Doesn't come alive All by it's lonely self. But, when a person, big or small Reaches out to touch And hug a Teddy Bear They'll feel so very much." He paused again briefly And gave a little sigh. I had no doubts within me As he looked into my eye. I squeezed a little tighter. I hugged a little more. Suddenly, I realized that I felt different than before. I had felt so sad When we had first begun. But, now my heart felt happy. Teddy's words had won. My lips parted, for I was about to speak, But, Teddy raised a paw So gently and so meek. |
| Once again he spoke In words that rang so true. "I'm your love inside. Now I’ve returned to you! The warmth you give to others Will return to you some how, In different forms, it's true, But, in Teddy form right now." I thought of all the times I had helped someone in need, And what Teddy spoke of here Felt so wonderful indeed!! |
| I turned to look at Teddy Wondering if I had dreamed. I thought I had, truly, But then, he winked. I beamed!! Now each and every time I hug a Teddy Bear, I feel that warmth and love And how great it is to care! For each and every time I cheer a lonely soul Or lend a helping hand Or fill an empty bowl, I think of Teddy Bear, The words he had spoken. I'm sharing them with you And Teddy is my token... Of friendship and love- Honest, true, sincere. May he put a smile In the place of any tear. |
| Teddy Bears stand for love, Kindness, hope and truth. It's quite simple, actually! We need no 'super sleuth'! |
