Teddy Bear who's woolen thread
Has been stretched out and long forgot
The look the sense of yester year
Shows through in each bunch knot
Golden brown its hair delight
Has brought babes through many a night
Its power revealed in its gentle feel
Tranquil love its true appeal
Teddy bear its heart does know
Of open doors and times long past
Its ragged fur its torn ear
Give great account to many a tear
Its fur revealing a simple time
Shows power assuring a genteel mind
This bear's strength helped weave time's plot
Molding our lives into one great blot
Its enduring strength with which to write
Shows true our expression and our soul's design
Of our heart's melody and our soul's accord
Whose golden sleep has captured more
The tales of life show through its glow
And therein lies Teddy Bear's true worth
That he has conquered through life's fate
To be our one true soul mate
