He sits upon the cabinet
tipped so slightly askew
he was your first teddy bear
how he reminds me of you
he was cuddled and loved
and clung onto so tight
i think back on times
of long talks into night
When you came for a visit
you spotted your old toy
a girlish squeal excaped
as you scooped him up in joy
when you left one more time
with teddy bear in tow
i felt that tug at my heart
as i watched you both go
the small thread that bonds us
grows quite taut and thin
I feel bits of me vanish
far down & deep within
my daughter, my love
my dear sweet pumpkin pie
I wish you safe travels
with each parting good-bye
Grow strong & be wise
choose well as you learn
stop often, think twice
use care at each turn
I miss you, I love you
these feelings pour free
it's hard watching you live
going on, not needing me.

WOW, I feel like I just intruded into a very special place. :-6
Old age and treachery, is an acceptable response to overwelming youth and skill

That's beautiful, minks! I'm not looking forward to that part of my daughter's growing up. Probably because she keeps taking MY teddy bears!
I hope you give a copy of this to your daughter. It will mean just as much to her as it does to you.

Thanks and your right it wasn't something I was looking forawrd to either. But I guess that is life as a parent. I shall give her a copy but she likely will cry. Then I will
