Grin and Bear It

Shyly                                              Loudly
          Smiling                    Laughing
                     in the face of 
                     Disapointment


  Go              Go
    Little stuffed
    Friend, open
     Your arms
        I'll cry 
You'll hug the bad and
         It will all
         Go Away!



Dedicated to my mother. She insists that Teddy Bears make life bearable!

Listen, Autumn - by the way, I love your name - a teddy bear is better for you than a fifth of Jack Daniels. Hug that there bear. Good write...good layout Love, daver...p.s., I just got the pun

A curious topic indeed, and Teddy Bears rock :D:D they are the ones that will inherit our shoes and hats, although hats are not that pretty and enclose ideas in a ring; thanks for sharing this, the use of spaces is so cool =D
