My Teddy Bethany

Dedicated to Bethany Philips, my baby niece.

Her little laughter warms my heart
As woolly mittens warm my hands
She’s captured my heart from the start
As a big bucket captures sand

So sweet is her innocent smile
Sweeter than pink cotton candy
My trials I forget for a while
When her charming, sweet smile I see

I thank God for sweet Bethany
My darling niece, so young and fair
She is such a blessing to me
She is my little teddy bear
