Best Teddy Poems
My sweet little Teddy Bear...
Mommy gave 'YOU' to me
Now I never sleep alone at night
The comfort you gave when God's sunny eyes ran out of light
You are my sweet little teddy bear...
You kept me company throughout the years
I hugged you when my eyes were full of tears
Loving you, squeezing you
We both express much joyful dance of cheers
Together we sang lullabies, without you singing one single word
We drank from the same teacup, whispered about the pretty birds
Now listen, as I mumble extra words into your ear
My sweet Teddy Bear, you are always here
We snuggled every night staring at the star-frame window
"You held my hand when I was lost in my own imaginary limbo
My sweet little Teddy Bear...
I'm 11 now, and my mother loves me dearly
Sadly, she felt it was time to find me a daddy
Little does she know my daddy visits every night in my dreams
Shhhhhh!!!
Now her boyfriend visits my room and tells me not to scream
Little Teddy bear, I never showed you fear before I fell asleep
Little Teddy bear, tonight I do not want to count sheep
Teddy bear, now I hold you closer and tighter than before
Little Teddy Bear let me cover your ears, from the screeching door
Little Teddy Bear, he said he would hurt Mommy if I tell anyone
Little Teddy Bear, I know you see and hear everything!!!

The View of an 11-year-old
TEDDY AND I
Teddy is my childhood cuddly toy,
Who brought me a lifetime of joy,
He listened to all my baby cries,
Biding his time to reveal
His surprise!
I sucked on his ear,
Had a regular chew,
Whilst I spoke to him in
Gobbly goo!
One day I dropped him,
Ouch, he cried,
Don’t do that again
If you do not mind!
When he spoke I got such a fright,
I screamed with all my might
I was two,
Teddy too!
But intrigued, so poked him here,
And there,
Hey Teddy said, that tickles,
Which gave me
Unstoppable giggles!
We decided no one must know,
Hush he said, not to a soul!
Teddy as he grew older, look bruised
And battered, for which
He was well excused.
He’d lost his one eye so he
Couldn’t well see,
And always stayed,
Very close to me.
His arms and legs
Had drooped,
If he stayed up too late,
He was pooped.
On my 50th birthday,
He was fifty too,
A life led by teddy,
Perhaps lived by few,
He had been loved all
Of his life so much,
But his fluff has now become
Less, due to every hug, and
Cuddly clutch!
He’s still with us up to this day,
But is grumpy and will glare,
Jealous of hubby, a stare
Out, between human and bear!
Two teddy bears, named
Ted and Fred,
Packed a picnic basket with buns,
And home-made bread,
Keep to the path their mummy said,
So off they went, along the way,
Happy teddy bears were Ted and Fred,
We’re going to the woods’ hurray,
What a lovely, happy first of May,
Was this exciting warm Spring Day.
They swung their basket as they skipped,
They sung and saw fresh berries’
Which they picked,
Poor little Fred his finger pricked,
It’s just a scratch,
Big brother said,
But we must be careful, said Ted,
It’s going to rain, must find
A safe, dry place,
Fred began to cry, tears streaked
Down his face.
The clouds were building up in the sky,
Lightning and thunder way up high,
Each one pulled up their hood.
Brrr………… its getting cold,
Don’t walk so fast Ted, said little Fred,
I’m scared, are we so very lost,
No, Ted replied, but we must find
The path back home at any cost.
Big brother looked helplessly around,
Felt hopeless, for young brother Fred
Who wanted mummy, what if they could not
Find their way back home, what a dread,
That would break their parent's heart,
Shhh ……. Fred, said Ted, lets' find
the path, where did we start'.
Mama and papa bears began to worry,
They put their raincoats on,
And went into the woods, where are my
Baby bears mama cried,
Freddy and Ted.
Papa bear bravely took the lead,
Mama don’t fret said he,
We will find them soon you’ll see.
Both plump and slow,
Papa started to sing, I know,
Singing calms you down, join me.
The little bears heard their parents singing,
Excited, they began flinging
Up their scarves and hats, screaming,
We are over here, we are over here,
They ran into each other’s arms, so glad,
All were so happy, this picnic,
Could have ended sad,
For eventually no picnic was even had.
They all joined hands and sung,
As their voices merrily rung
Through-out the woods.
They got back home papa, Fred and Ted
Watched TV,
Whilst mama bear prepared supper happily,
She read them nursery rhymes in bed,
They fell asleep, she tucked them in,
Sleep well my babies, mama said.
There once was a bear
Who was loved for his shoes
To a girl he was gifted
Just her cuddly muse
On a once rainy day
With a shelter required
The brolly was shaken
To it's cover retired
Then a browse through the store
With her eyes shining bright
The gloss of his footwear
Caught a beam of the light
A flash and a sparkle
Was all that it took
So a friendship was forged
That no force could unhook
As they travelled together
Through the sun and the rain
Their companionship moulded
By life's tough terrain
So the girl became woman
Then a grandma and such..
The bear became gifted
And was loved, not so much
Then one day, for some reason
His world became dark
In the silence he longed
For the girl and her spark
After years it seemed, waiting
One day it occurred
There was light and a voice
Of encouraging word
"I love him", she said
And he knew it was true
Despite fur slightly flattened
Or less sparkly shoe
He remembered way back
To the dusty old shop
Once that love lives inside you
It's a heart that won't stop
Oh, soft, squishy, most beloved Teddy!
How I hugged you on scary stormy nights.
I know you loved me, with all your heart's
own bear might!
You sat smiling at my alpine wood children's table.
While I made us lunch, as best as a little girl was able!
I read you books with pictures I did so love.
You said nothing, but we were close as hands in a glove.
Those dark eyes sparkling, your lips in a sweet curl.
These young girl memories, make by heart twirl.
On warm summer days, you and my doll, Nancy, in a
buggy were placed.
I walked through my Chicago neighborhood with a mother's
ease and grace.
Teddy, what cruel fates took you away?
You, stolen at a party~ my little girl heart still misses her furry,
agape!
Decades have come, moons and seasons, too.
But in my heart, dearest,Teddy, I will always miss the comfort
of holding, furry, comforting, you!

Do you have a toy you loved
and lost, too?
If so, would share that with us?
Panagiota
associated with happiness
a little touch of tenderness
lives and sleeps at my address
it's nothin I regret
will never forget
my eyes were wet
like a pet
I met

Dear Teddy Bear, My Teddy Bear
I keep you with me night and day,
Amazing how you always play.

You rest with me right in my lap.
You are my bestest furry friend!

I sometimes get a little crazy and lose control
I sometimes lose sight of whats in my soul
My teddy bear steadily speaks in my ear
Everything in sight reminding me that he's still here
My teddy bear texts just to say, "Good morning beautiful. I love you."
A random call in the middle of the afternoon just to say, "Baby, I'm here to pull you
through."
My teddy bear leaves a silent message everywhere
My teddy bear leaves a desk full of paper and a drink in the fridge
Sayin' baby take my hand and we'll build a bridge
My teddy bear knows which song to play
My teddy bear knows how to make me smile more each day
I sometimes get a little crazy and lose control
I sometimes lose sight of whats in my soul
My teddy bear steadily speaks in my ear
Everything in sight reminding me that he's still here
My teddy bear texts just to say, "Good morning beautiful. I love you."
A random call in the middle of the afternoon just to say, "Baby, I'm here to pull you
through."
My teddy is slowly teaching me to let it all go
My teddy bear is teaching me to let my emotions flow
I sometimes get a little crazy and lose control
I sometimes lose sight of whats in my soul
My teddy bear steadily speaks in my ear
Everything in sight reminding me that he's still here
My teddy bear texts just to say, "Good morning beautiful. I love you."
A random call in the middle of the afternoon just to say, "Baby, I'm here to pull you
through."
I look around and see you everywhere
Every moment reminding me that you'll be there
Your wisdom and knowledge fills my ears
Your presence in my heart says you're still here
My teddy bear My teddy bear
Teddy lives in a world of strife,
Where fight for existence is stiff.
He writes poems that show his daily struggle,
As he tries to understand why there’s no mingle
Between different tribes and clans;
God, well maybe has better plans
His eyes are black, and his skin brown,
Like the Mother Earth he has grown.
Poverty and corruption is the norm,
As crime gangs day to day always form
His world I say, is so different from mine
Jan tries hard to make folks smile
Forget their troubles for a while
She writes poems that may make you weep
Other poems she pens you may wish to keep
Her eyes are green, her hair is titian -
The colour’s out a bottle - that grey CAN be beaten!
She lives on a little Island surrounded by the sea
Where the air is fresh and there's no poverty
Unemployment is low, there is little crime
Her world is so very different from mine
We share a love;
A love for letters, words,
And verses,
Knit together to create a deep message
That forever echoes deep within our souls.
Difference in race, nationality and ideology
Are all fused together in rhythm and sonnets,
Making us citizens of the world,
Enjoying the anarchy of love.
We are miles apart across the sea
But we share a love called poetry.

Collaboration between Jan Allison & Teddy Kimathi
I was Daddy’s little Kitten…
That was his pet name for me.
I was only four at the time,
I was happy and carefree.
Daddy gave me a Teddy.
I cuddled Teddy every day.
Teddy gave me comfort,
when Daddy worked away.
When Daddy came home from work,
His jacket would hang near the door,
every morning it was there,
My Daddy I loved and adored.
Mummy and Daddy were yelling…
One night before I slept.
Daddy’s jacket was gone in the morning…
I heard Mummy crying in bed.
“What’s wrong Mummy, where’s Daddy?”
Mummy wiped her tears and wept…
“Daddy and I have parted…
Don’t worry, I love you,” she said.
We moved to a place up north,
My Mummy, my Sister and I…
But my Teddy stayed at home,
we’d left Daddy and Teddy behind.
After a while we returned,
our toys and Teddy were gone,
Daddy gave all our things away,
Something was terribly wrong.
Mummy had decided,
Things would never be like before.
Daddy has now moved away...
And my teddy's living with the girl next-door.
Milly and Her Teddy Bear
There is a girl with bright blue hair
Who has a much loved teddy bear
He is her best friend in the world
In his arms she is oft times curled.
Her pretty name is Milly Mae
Milly and teddy play all day
He listens to her hopes and dreams
And her most adventurous schemes.
The hair is just a wig for sure
An aspect of dress-up allure
Milly is who she cares to be
A character from a story.
Teddy watches over role plays
Milly he does support always
To teddy she's a super star
As sweet as honey in a jar.
Sometimes they laugh, it’s such a scream
That teddy almost splits his seams
At times they cry when things are sad
That brings cuddles from mom and dad.
Milly is just four years of age
A polite girl who’s well behaved
She always says please and thank you
The way that she’s been taught to do.

Teddy bear, Teddy bear, I have found you,
Hiding behind a tree,
Teddy bear, together, let's reach the blue,
Come, come and play with me,
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, you hide, I'll seek,
Count to hundred and one,
Teddy bear, together, let's touch the peak,
Come, come, let's have some fun.

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.
Softer than the touch of silk
More calming than the sea
Better than a glass of milk
And a batch of fresh, warm cookies
Sweeter than the sound of rain
On a tin roof in the country
Erasing briefly all my pain
The teddy bear that hugs me
More exuberant than a burning fire
Tamed and then gone wild
Easy kindness brings desire
If only for a little while
And I don’t want to bring and end
To comfort given by a friend
