Teddy Smiles…

The Teddy Bear sat with his back against the wall
high on the Ottoman from the ground he looked tall
he was only 18 inches and he knew he couldn’t grow
but he was really big on smiles and love he could show.

 
There was no-one to hold him,  so no-one to care,
there was no-one to see him,  so he just sat there.
Simply longing to be loved,  just waiting for play.
His owner had grown up, her childhood faded away.

 
Suddenly a sound,  small childish hands picked him up
cuddled and loved him,  he just couldn’t believe his luck.
He felt renewed,  full of wonder and what meant even more,
wanted, and his stitched smile grew much wider than before.
