Hi, tuliptree:
In Honor of Teddy Bear Day:
Your Teddy Bear is always there.
Siting patiently through the ever wending
Days, weeks, months and years.
Teddy doesn't have a care.
You've made a nice place for him to play.
Keeping company and counsel along the way.
Since before you were the age of two.
His stuffings hugged so tight when you had the flu.
He always knows when things with you aren't right.
In brightest day and darkest night.
Never objecting to a young girl's Tea Fete.
He's there for you to hug and squeeze.
Through Life's occasional Rocky Seas.
The friendly Keeper of Sanity and Secrets.
Let's give a rousing round of Cheers.
To our plump, plush, huggable Teddy Bears!
Jack.
