As Teddy Bears Listened

As the teddy bears listened intently, vastly quiet
She took advantage of their faithfulness
Giving them a story that made them feel safe
She was a happy eight-year-old, spreading joy.

She took advantage of their faithfulness
By loving them with all of her might 
She was a happy eight-year-old, spreading joy
The ending of the day was bathed in twilight

By loving them with all of her might
Giving them a story that made them feel safe
The ending of the day was bathed in twilight 
As the teddy bears listened intently, vastly quiet
