Patchwork Teddy Bear

Little stuffed bear lying on a bed Made of odd pieces of cloth Not as handsome as store-bought bears Of this he was ashamed But he captured the heart of a little girl And of this he was rightfully proud Nestled in her arms So loving each night He led a charmed life He brought sweet dreams or so it seems and had no wants at all Years passed, and the little girl grew to think he was of no more use to her He found himself in a trash can His heart so hurt the angels cried And this is what they swore To teddy bear heaven they carried him to rest in well earned peace But from heaven he could not bear to be He wanted to be with her That you surely see One night the girl had a frightful nightmare and cried out for her bear And in a flash our Teddy came To keep away the scare Now Teddy again lies on her bed On his face a mighty grin Cause Teddy found out his one great love Indeed still needed him.
