Ted-------(The Story of a very old teddy bear)

Ted

A Poem

By Jude Kyrie

Remember when we met Ted
You always made things right
We used to always sleep together
So I was not scared at night

We used to travel everywhere
Nobody ever knew
You were always there for me
And I was there for you

I used to tell you all my troubles
You would listen all the day
And when I got a tummy ache
You took the pain the away

Once I had the measles
I was six days in my bed
You never ever left me Ted
You slept right by my head

When the thunderstorm scared me
And the lightning’s flashing light
You snuggled up and held me
So safe all through the night

The passing years they rolled along
And we got older too
I was not frightened anymore
Oh Ted what could I do with you

My little sons  in the next room
Safely sleeping in his bed
He cannot go to sleep alone
There is a bear next to his head

With  one eye missing
And sewed up at the seams
it has a colored patch or two
It is his favorite little bear
Its you Ted it is you.
