One can never really outgrow the need for a good friend or just something soft to hug... This precious poem brings back some nice childhood memories for me... Wonderful work Connie! Good luck in the contest!

Thank you Jean. Children really love their stuffed animals and give them an almost sentient personality. My poem was twice as long and I had to cut it down for the contest. : ) xxoo

Made me all smiley. This is something I can relate to as a child and as a Mother - that attachment to a special thing. So sweet. Congrats on your placement. Love ... CayCay

This is so tender. Years ago, I got my wife a little one, not knowing how in her 50s she’d react. Tears came to her eyes, as she cuddled it and placed it neatly on the bed. Thanks for summoning these heartfelt memories.

Oh WOW Connie this is cuter than cuter and sweeter than sweet! I LOVE it - I have my teddy bear still which my mom kept for me and I have in our bedroom - he only has one eye, his fur is half gone but he/she looks at me so lovingly! Holding thumbs! Hugs, Jennifer.

Thank you Andrea. The other pictures brought zero ideas to be inspired enough to write a poem about. Here is wishing us luck. : ) xxoo

Thank you Jack. My son had a little dog puppet....I think he may still have. My daughters had Teddy bears. My granddaughter now sleeps with her mother's large bear when she is here. : ) xxoo

A sincere ode to the teddy bear, Connie! Did you know that Elvis Presley had his own teddy bear based on his song?

No, I didn't, but it doesn't surprise me. He was the beloved only child whose twin died at birth so he was even more treasured by his parents. Thank you Ralph. xxoo

Well that took me right back Connie, I remember the one I had was blue, he was around for years, not sure where he ended up though. Good luck. Tom

I saved the Teddy bears for my daughters and a little pup puppet for my son. They were grateful. Thank you Tom. : )

Thank you M.L. When my oldest daughter was a teen she told me to throw her teddy bear away. I reminded her years later and she was horrified and asked did I do it? I said no, I saved it and she was so happy. Haha. : )

Thank you Caren. My poem was twice as long, then I realized I had to drop four lines to enter the contest. This is a poem I can share with my seven year old granddaughters. : ) xxoo
