Teddy Kimathi

"Teddy" is a name that gives you a cartoon-like impression of animated bears of all sizes and colors, who have a weakness for honey, sometimes their hands getting stuck in the honey jars... Well, during the time of Plato and Alexander, the name "Teddy" meant "God-Given". The English can give James Bond "Teddy" for it means "Wealthy Guardian". "Kimathi" is a Kimeru name, which means "the one who gives". I give you all my love and blessings during the Christmas festivities!

You did a really nice job with this challenge and I enjoyed the poem. My sister is Theadora, and somehow our dad started calling her Teddy!! I love how you related this all to Christmas.
