Scruffy Bear

I sit and watch you everyday
From a bookshelf where I will stay
Not quite like new, patched with a swatch
You everyday, I sit and watch

You used to hold me so much more
When I was softer, not yet tore
I'll wait right here for you to see
So much more, you used to hold me

Once a loved one, now a keepsake
Loyal love does a true friend make
I hope no more yarns come unspun
Now a keepsake, once a loved one

I'm always here to watch you grow
If you need me, in high or low
Don't forget me, I'm always near
To watch you grow, im always here

(Swap quatrain)

Hello Hat Bueckert, teddy bers are our friends when we were children. We use to tell our secrets to our bears. I sense the teddy bear is still loved and also a keepsake. A fav. Enjoy your day my friend.
