I walked into a house one day
A home of a very good friend
I was feeling kind of down and out
She said,
"Here, I have something to lend"



She left the room
returning with a Teddy Bear
Then she handed it to me.....
I just looked at her .......
with a stare
"Why are you lending me this bear?"



With a smile on her face
She began to say,
"If more Teddy Bears
were in people's lives....
Things would not be in such disarray"



Then I followed her down the hall
Oh, my goodness....
Do you know what I found
Teddy Bears on a sofa and on the chairs
on the floor and shelves....
There were Teddy Bears all around



Some where dressed as doctors
She had one that was a nurse
One looked like a queen
Another one was dressed for the opera
carrying a beaded purse



She is what you would call
a "Teddy Bear Collector"
She bought only one....
One time.....
Then the Teddy Bear bug infected her



But, this is her reasoning....
When she is weighed down
with the darkest of gloom
She simply goes right
into her Teddy Bear room



She looks at each one
sitting here and there
They all have a personality you know
And pretty soon she has not a care



Sooooooooo....
I'm looking at this bear for a while
And you know what?
She was right....
All of a sudden I had to smile



Maybe this is something
we all should do
Sitting in one very special place
we could have a Teddy Bear or two



And you know what else I have found
There is something very special
about a person
that lives with Teddy Bears all around
