Teddy Bear

C. J. Henck

My teddy bear was getting old

I showed him to my dad.

The threads that made his mouth were gone.

My teddy looked so sad.

His round dark eyes were crooked

His button nose hung down.

It made me cry to look at him,

My teddy, soft and brown.

A jagged hole showed stuffing

Poking through a long one side.

And I hugged him oh, so gently,

So it wouldn't get more wide.

When daddy showed my mommy,

She fixed him up like new.

His button nose was tight now,

His mouth was smiling, too.

His eyes were side by side again

Just like they used to be.

And when I sat and talked to him,

He could look right back at me.

She pushed the stuffing in again

Then sewed the hole with thread.

And when I went to sleep last night,

He was with me in my bed.

You know that someone loves you

By the little things they do.

At times like this, it means much more

Than saying, "I love you."

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Torn and tattered.
You were my friend
When it really mattered.

Teddy Bear Poem

Judith Viorst

I threw away my Teddy Bear,

The one that lost his eye.

I threw him in the garbage pail

(I thought I heard him cry.)

I've had that little Teddy Bear

Since I was only two.

But I'm much bigger now and

I've better things to do

Then play with silly Teddy Bears

And so I said good-bye

And threw him in the garbage pail

(Who's crying~ he or I?)

My Teddy Bear

Marchette Chute

A Teddy Bear

Is a faithful friend.

You can pick him up at

either end.

His fur is the color

of breakfast toast

And he's always there

When you need him most.

There's nothing as nice

As a new Teddy Bear.

To tickle and cuddle

And take everywhere

To share all your secrets,

Your laughter and tears

To keep by your side

Through seasons and years.

There's nothing as nice

As a new Teddy Bear...

Except for an old one

With memories to share.
