One night I sat thinking about how many children out there suffer abuses, and how awful it is, and I made the comment, "If the teddy bears of children could only talk, what do you think they would say?", and that led me to writing this poem. Nothing more needs to be said, the peom should speak for itself...
...dedicated to my sister Janine, with all my love!
IF TEDDY BEARS COULD TALK
what would they say,
what would they tell you,
about the children with whom they play?
you don't want to hear,
Like mommy hurt tommy,
or daddy is who we fear.
are not just some toy,
their sometimes the only love felt,
by some girl or boy.
scared and alone,
find him a teddy bear
needing a home.
by the deed in your heart,
you've given this child
a place for love to start.
If you are a survivor of any kind of abuse suffered as a child
I pray you had a teddy bear to help you face your troubles,
If you are, or know someone in need of a teddy bear, please join in the teddy bear campaign and spread love to those in need, to those who have suffered, or are suffering. NO child, big or small should ever have to go without a teddy bear. Please ...take your teddy bear. Be sure to link it back to here so that we may better help other's in need of teddy bear too.
***NOTE***
If you would like to use this poem along with the teddy bear to help fight this cause, it is ok, HOWEVER, please give credit to the author as well as drop me line and let me know you used it.
Here are some links to places where you may find help for yourself or other's you know who may need it. Remember, child abuse comes in many forms, and if you know of someone who needs help, or if you yourself are in need, please, by all means go to any measure to seek it, and help put an end to this ugly crime!
