This Little Teddy Bear

This little teddy, sitting on display
He wanted to get out, he wanted to play
So he propped himself up and sat up straight
As for Christmas, he just couldn’t wait
As more and more people passed on by
This little guy, he wanted to cry
But a girl walked in, she was different from the rest
He couldn’t tell what it was, but he tried to act his best
Se walked into the store, her eyes caught his gaze
She had been looking for the perfect gift for days
She planned it out so well, but something was missing
She wanted everything perfect, down to the mistletoe kissing
She spotted the bear, sitting in a row
As soon as she picked him up, the teddy did know
He was something special, going to be given out
Now there was no way he was going to pout
She picked up his case and looked in his eyes
She knew then and there, she finally realized
He would love this, that much she knew
The teddy bear thought, “Can’t wait to meet you.”
The teddy bear looked back into her eyes
But there was something there he couldn’t realize
There was something there hidden, it was something so sad
That it kinda made the teddy feel really bad
A sadness so deep, he couldn’t believe
It was all because she knew he would have to leave
But it went away, away as quick as it came
Replaced by thoughts of choosing the teddy’s name
She had many, but one caught her eye
“Gabriel, I’ll call you; my angel from the sky.
To protect him from anything that could get in his way,
A perfect gift for him for this Christmas Day.”
So she smiled a little as she held him tight
She knew that in her heart, that this was right
So she bought him and took him to her home
Where he would never have to feel so alone
She took a bit of string and slid it through her ring
She tied it around Gabe’s neck; she knew the smile it’d bring
Shining its silver, the small Celtic knot
Even though he’s going away, his heart would not
It would stay in her heart, as part of one whole
Two bodies conjoined, to form one soul
So as he opens he present, she has one thing to say
“Merry Christmas Baby! I love you in every way.”
