Me And My Teddy Bear! Poem by John Knight
Me And My Teddy Bear!
I confess to haveing a collection of 84 Teddies but my favorite is still my first one who I named BEAR and who i still have!
When I was born in 1933
My Aunty bought a Teddy Bear for me.
He really was the finest Bear - that I had ever seen
He very much resembled the Bear of Mister Bean
He was so very soft - I was bewitched
His eyes and nose with thick black wool were stiched!
My Teddy was a s big as me - a lovely golden brown
At night he cuddled up with me - we both were fast asleep
My Mummy turned the oil lamp down
Then Daddy came to tuck me up and have a peep!
My Teddy had to have a name
And so I called him BEAR
And where I went - my Teddy came
He had his own high-chair!
The worse day was when Mummy washed
And thought my Bear looked dirty
And through the mangle - he was squashed
That really really hurt me!
My brother used to hide my Bear
Or throw him down the stairs
I tried to act - I didn't care
But ended up in tears -
(I really loved that Bear - Ahhhhhhh)
When I was five - and went to School
My Teddy came with me
Alas it was against the rule
Or so said Mrs Smee!
I had to leave my Friend at home
I was so very sad
But in this - I was not alone
My playmates made me glad!
All through the War my Bear and I
We stayed close side by side
Without hime I was sure I'd die
So many children died.
My Bear and I live side by side
Through many many years
Through college - work - then with my Bride
Through happy days and tears.
When I had children of my own
I bought them all a Bear
They wanted mine but I said NO!
A Bear you cannot share.
Grandchildren too all got a Bear
One even has a Sieff
A special button in his ear
The price? beyond belief!
I'm older now but still my Bear
Is sitting by my side
And both of us have got less hair
But we've still got our pride!
When it is time for me to go
To my new home in the Sky
I'll take my Bear with me you know
For Teddies never die!
This is such a precious write! ! I love teddy bears :) I remember the first one I got had moveable arms and legs, I had put a pair of red overalls on him and cut a spot for his tail, I miss that teddy! ! This is so cute John, Thank You :)
John, it's such a very great describing about your love to your teddy bear. Although I never really like doll, but after reading this poem, I understand how you feel about your friend befriending you for years. You and your teddy bear will never be separated although one day you might have to go home. Nice described, John.

A LOOOONG love story between you and your teddy bear like all kids, the secret of this love is that it keeps the company of its owner, it is always calm, silent, obedient and never opposes or disagrees like real persons do...
