MY FAVORITE TEDDY BEAR




When I was a little girl
I went outside to play
I dragged my favorite Teddy Bear
With me throughout the day

He was so battered,ripped and bruised
I wonder if it hurt
I wish I only knew

His right eye was missing
And so was his nose
He must not have been warm
I didn't dress him with any clothes

I jumped, sang and ran around
Until night came
From me
You didn't hear a sound

I snug up tight to my Teddy
I cuddle and kiss him with care
" Good night " I said
To my favorite Teddy Bear
