TuckerbearsTeddy Bearby StandStill
I woke up one morning and realized you don't want me. You grew up awfully fast. I wish I had taken more time to love every little piece of you because now you're moving on faster and faster away from me. Pretty soon, you'll be a little speck of dust on a horizon in my memory. And that scares me, friend. You're supposed to need me. I'm your teddy bear. Remember when you got me for a Christmas present a year ago? I remember. I came out of the box and you clung to me. I was awake, then. That was when I feel like my life began. No moment before that.
I didn't belong before I belonged to you. You took me everywhere, through the playground and the dark basement. You held tight to me in the dark. And I know my head's full of fluff, but I can tell. I can just tell that you're growing older and pretty soon, I'll fall under the bed with all the other toys.
I don't really wanna die that way..

Posts: 2,203I still have both of mine. I was given one when I was two days old. He was put in the incubator with me. The other I got when I was nine monthes old.
That is a sad poem!
I still have my favorite teddy bear (Sam) from childhood. My mom made him for me and he's a little worse for wear, but I love him just the same! 
Mason BearsI still have my teddy. I remember waking up on the Christmas morning when I was five years old and finding him in his box. It was snowing just like it is now. For a long time he was put away in the attic and now has pride of place in our hallway. He is very threadbare and has been restored a little. He is still my teddy.
