Old Bear

Here I sit, just a bit forlorn.

My body sags and I'm a tad worn

If you listen you can hear my sad sighs

But the merry twinkle is still in my eyes.

I was once a much loved favorite toy,

Belonging to a sweet little boy.

But he left and went away

I haven't seen him for many a day.

I have been alone so very long

Won't you please take me home?

Sing me a song!

Play games with me!

Take me out to play!

Oh YES! We can be so merry and gay.

Eventhough I'm not brand new

I have tons of love just for you!

There are so many things that we can share

Because I will be YOUR Teddy Bear!

*Every week-end, He sits quietly, watching and listening. He never argues, never complains, and never questions.... he sits there and just comforts me . I've never asked... Does he have a name. He currently is adorned with my UTEP cap... never, once, asking to take it off.
