Find your old friend.


Little Stuffed Teddy

Little stuffed teddy, where is he today?
Now that you are grown, he's put in the attic away.

Remember you hugged him then,
when you were feeling blue.
A tear in his button eyes,
He sure misses you.

Together you would play.
He would be there to defend you,
And keep the monsters away.

Try to go back.
We're still children at heart.
Find your old friend, give him a hug.
Don't let growing up keep you apart.

A child love is priceless.
A teddy bear's love is timeless.

This touched my heart. I have a stuffed cat, Tom( Tom and Jerry cartoon). I got him when I was 5. I have had him for 29 years. I can not let him go. When I was a kid I would bring Tom with me every where. The stuffing came out of him once when he was washed. I bawled my eyes out. My grandmother picked every bit of stuffing out of the washing machine and dried it and then restuffed Tom and sewed him up. Why is it that there is one thing from our childhood that we can never get rid of even when it is dirty and ratty? Thank you.
