Teddy had retired
To
our headboard shelf
He
was quite content
To be
all by himself
Then
I was deserted
By my
loving spouse
Who
had to go & leave me
Alone
in our big house
Nights
were long and lonely
They
left me feeling scared
What
I really needed
Was
to feel that someone cared
My
husband was so far away
We
couldn’t talk by phone
So
every night at bedtime
I
felt sad and alone
One
night – at bedtime
I lay
in bed weeping
A
great idea hit me
Which
has helped my sleeping
I
reached to the shelf
Where
Teddy sat, above
When
suddenly I felt
All
my husband’s love
Through
all this separation
Teddy’s
always been there
I hug
him and I squeeze him
And
he really seems to care
He
listens to my problems
Puts
up with my tears
Suffers
my frustrations
Protects
me from my fears
When
my husband comes back home
I
have a lesson to share
And
each one of our children
Will
receive a Teddy Bear
