Teddy Bear and Lamb

A Teddy Bear I have found to give my perfect little lamb.
One day replaced with his own lamb, a Teddy Bear to give.
Still for now he is all mine, as we snuggle close and warm.
But some day on little legs he will begin to venture forth.

Still, a Teddy Bear I have found for my beloved little lamb.
Ten perfect little fingers wiggle like his ten perfect little toes.
They mesmerize me totally just like that quaint little nose.
It’s hard to believe that soon, he will learn to reach out so far.

But today he snuggles closely with his Teddy Bear and I.
Bumps, and falling down some day will start his way to walk.
But for now he is all mine as I kiss his brow and nose in awe.
Such beauty is held for me as that little fist goes in his mouth.

Those beautiful big eyes when open, hold me in their thrall.
It’s hard to believe they’ll ever be able to look past me at all.
A perfect little angel was given unto me on this very special day.
Nothing more I ask of God than to guide him gently on his way.

For now a Teddy Bear I have found to give my little lamb.
And today he snuggles closely with his Teddy Bear and I.
He was once God’s lamb before: his care was given unto me.
He is mine, till he finds his own little lamb, a Teddy Bear to give.

This brought back some delightful memories of my lambs. Though they have a flock of their own, it's delightful to read and remember. Thank you - Chuck
