Notes About The Poem

Guess I'M Still In Love With You

I came across my first love
You were always in my arms
Swore we’d never be apart
But I let you go

Now we are reunited
My heart just beats like a drum
I can’t take my eyes off you ...
My first teddy bear

Sweet and charming poem, Jan. Cuddly memories. Btw, my neighbor gave me a teddy monkey this past Valentine's Day. It's adorable just like this poem is. Love always.

Nice to be reunited with something we'd loved since childhood. I hadn't liked dolls, it was those creepy faces frozen in time.:( Their clothes? I'd used bigger pieces to dress our cat. Teddies and stuffed animals, the snugables for sure! Nice write Jan! Best wishes, Mikki

It's just a fun write Debbie - I was reading an article with a student at school about opening a suitcase from the attic and the memories it brought back:-) my own childhood teddy was called 'lying on teddy' he was pretty flat and battered as i literally used to 'lie on him' lol - oh the memories - he may still be in our attic - may find him one day lol:-) Hugs jan xx

Aw, so cute. Would you believe I have Teddy Bears. One with an Argentina Top, the other with the badge. Yep, I like Argentina as a country, and more importantly, it's National Football Team. Keep writing girl, your one of the poets that keeps me here, hugs, James xx

February 4, 2015 at 5:22 PM

I wouldn't like to see you go Jan :( xx

February 4, 2015 at 4:42 PM

Sadly James I am very disillusioned with the site at the moment - I have serious issues but despite 5 e mails I have no reply - my PM is up on 7th March - it is now up to soup to resolve these issues or I may simply fly - am undecided at the moment:-( Hugs jan xx

February 4, 2015 at 3:04 PM

How sweet, Jan! As you well know, I have three women in the house, and all go mad on teddy bears, etc, but not much into dolls. (Valentina shares her bed with dozens of cuddly animals!) hugs // paul

February 4, 2015 at 3:08 PM

Yes Paul, I remember chatting with Valentina about teddies:-) Hugs to all and a big kiss for Valentina :-) xx Jan xxx

February 4, 2015 at 2:16 PM

February 4, 2015 at 2:19 PM

Was a fascinating tale you told Sara- no one but me eats peanut butter in my house lol:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Hi jan, I can imagine you as a little girl holding your teddy bear. I remember my first bear and i know that my parents still have it tucked away. It is a great poem and I know it will do well in the contest. A 7 and Fav. Love Shane xxx How is your father?
