THIS BEAR IS SWEET AND MADE ME SMILE,
AND THEN I THOUGHT OF YOU,
I PICKED IT UP AND IT FELT SO WARM,
I THOUGHT THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO...
I'LL TAKE IT HOME AND WRAP IT UP,
IN A NEAT TINY PACKAGE AND THEN,
I'LL TAKE IT TO THE POST OFFICE,
AND CAREFULLY PUT IT IN...
I'LL TELL THE CLERK TO PLEASE TAKE CARE,
OF THIS SWEET LITTLE TEDDY BEAR,
IT HAS A MISSION IN ITS LIFE,
AND IMPORTANT IT MAKES IT THERE...
IT HAS TO BE THERE BY YOUR SIDE,
TO COMFORT AND PROTECT,
AND HUG AWAY ALL YOUR FEARS,
THERE ARE MANY I SUSPECT...
SO WHEN YOU ARE FRIGHTENED,
AND NEED ME FRIEND,
THIS I'LL HAVE YOU DO...
HOLD IT CLOSE AND HUG IT HARD
LET ALL YOUR FEARS FADE AWAY,
AND REMEMBER IT IS THERE FOR ME,
SO I CAN BE WITH YOU THIS DAY...
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU SO VERY MUCH,
HERE IN YOUR TIME OF NEED,
TO SUPPORT AND LOVE YOU LIKE YOU DESERVE,
SO PLEASE LET IT DO THIS FOR ME...
YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS,
THIS DAY IS HARD FOR ME TOO,
I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU,
TO HELP YOU SEE THIS THROUGH...
I HAVE FAITH THAT ALL WILL BE WELL,
AND TO DENY THIS IS NOT FAIR,
WHEN YOU ARE FRIGHTENED, JUST REMEMBER,
TO HUG THIS SWEET LITTLE BEAR.
THE END
THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY GOOD FRIEND AND SISTER
JUDY, WHO'S OUTLOOK ON LIFE AND COURAGE SURPASSES ANYONE
OR ANYTHING I HAVE EVER KNOW. SHE HAS
SHOWN ME THAT NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS ARE, YOU CAN STILL
LIVE YOUR LIFE AND BE HAPPY.
THANKS JUDY FOR SHOWING ME I CAN ALS0 GO ON.
