This is great. That is one big dang bear!

That is the type of gift that your granddaughter will never forget.

Teddy Bears are
One of the great things in life.

You've captured the essence of the invisible Teddy, God has always spoken to me, and has saved my life on at least two occasions, but only because I had asked Him, Hevisva gentleman by nature, and even though we all need, Hevwont impose Himself, unless asked. With on exception, He aways loves, If He's not asked...He keeps His distance. Well done, Roy

    Thank you Roy for reading this poem, and for the very nice review. Glad you were saved! I tried to give this large teddy bear a life, and judging from the many tears shared by readers, I think I gave it some meaning. Thanks again, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

I bet her parents loved you for that present! It is so big! I think it would have been banished to the loft before long. Joking aside, your poem has lot of soulful and loving hidden meaning here, we like protecting our children from the harsh realities of life and want to support them when they fall and your teddy bear represents the love here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

    Thank you Dolly for reading my poem, and for the very nice review. It means so much when people leave a meaningful review.
    The teddy has a place of honor in her bedroom, and she has shared that she reads the poem, but never has dry eyes after reading it.
    It will always be a meaningful Christmas too.
    Happy Thanksgiving, and we do have things to be thankful for, children, being the most important.
    Bless you,
    Dick

I have to give this six stars. Your picture of your teary-eyed granddaughter and the big bear is precious. This is so well written and full of charm. Nicely done.

    YOU always come through with your reviews and words. My records show that YOU are the one, who brings my writing over a five-star. I wasn't going to post this story, but now that I see all of the positive response, if one child gets the poem and remembers some of the teddy bear words - it is worth a fortune to me.
    I've given some teddy bears to friends and to one nurse, just after I wrote it. It made my day. Her six-year old daughter, didn't have a teddy bear and was coming home from being with her dad. That gift and the note, was meant to happen. Things do happen the way they are supposed to.
    Thanks again for making my day.

Along with your photograph and wonderful poem- I keep hearing the song "A Teddy Bear's Picnic" by Ann Murray.
Bringing to life the undaunting....always there...cuddles and confidence's....of a Teddy Bear. Excellent and touching creative writing concept.
Your idea to give the Teddy personality and a promise of "being a real friend"..sweet, caring and comforting.
Well written and reviewed.

Dick,

What a treat! Oh, my Any child who receives a teddy bear WITH this poem would certainly have double the joy and happiness. This is a great example of your wonderful, caring heart and I think anyone who gets a precious gift like this would love, not only the gift but the generous and caring GIVER.

Thanks so much!

What a huge bear. That takes up a good part of a room. I do love the poem and the picture of her with tears is touching. I can tell that your love you granddaughter a lot. She will never forget you. I still remember how much my grandfather loved me.

    Thanks again Beth for being a consistent reader and for your very nice reviews. Most of us had Teddy Bears growing up, but many of us never knew what they really meant to us. I think my first best friend was the grey teddy bear that waited for me to climb into bed. I realize that now, but wish I had a way to thank him for being there for me.
    Thanks again,
    Dick

All we are looking for in life is "unconditional love" , which is committed with persistence going through thick and thin. The teddy bear here might be a real story, something that has accompanied us throughout our childhood, or it might be a symbol, something we are looking for and something in our hope. I enjoy reading this poem.

I like the poem. It is very loving. Anyone would love a friendly bear like that. I wish I can sleep with one. I promise I will hug it, kiss it, keep it warm and happy.

Good friends will do everything to make you happy. Treasure them.
