Bear and Me - It's History

BEAR and ME So, if you don’t know already My surrogate Mum was my teddy But she was just a big Bear Who growled when real Mum wasn’t there She had big shiny glass eyes and limbs that moved, and it seemed we both knew That she could walk and sometimes talk And if I turned her upside down she would sometimes talk her growl Bear growls though is all that she said nothing more nothing less She though was my best friend right up until the very end When my so-called foster mother threw Bear into the coal fire I cried and tried to rescue Bear but couldn’t get close enough to get her out of there But Bear I remember you as you were always my clue That I had a real Mummy Bear somewhere Who was someone just like you DAMO

How sad when a child has memories of burning bears. I think no matter what your age today, I think you should go out and buy yourself the most beautiful bear . Never to late to show kindness to ourselves years later, Your poem touched me .
