Teddy, shes been bad again,
her Mommy told her so;
she not quiet sure what she did wrong.
But she thought that you might know.
When she woke up this morning,
she knew that she was mad;
Cause she was crying awful hard,
And yelling at her dad.
sheI tried her best to be real good,
And do just what she said;
she cleaned her room all by herself,
she even made her bed.
But she spilled milk on her good shirt,
When she yelled at her to hurry;
And she guess's she didn't hear her,
When she told her she was sorry.
Cause she hit her awful hard, you see,
And called her funny names;
And told hershe was really bad,
And she should be ashamed!
When she said,"I love you, Mommy,"
I guess she didn't understand;
Cause she yelled at her to shut her mouth.
Or she woud get smacked again.
So, she came up here to talk to you,
Please tell her what to do;
Cause she really loves her Mommy,
And she know she loves her, too.
And she don't think her Mommy means,
To hit her quite so hard;
she guess sometimes, grown-ups forget.
How big they really are!
So Teddy, she wishs you were real,
And you weren't just a bear;
Then you could help here find a way.
To tell Mommies everywhere.
To please try hard to understand.
How sad it makes us feel;
Cause the outside pain soon goes away,
But the inside never heals!
And if we could make them listen,
Maybe then they'd understand;
So other children just like her,
Wouldn't have to hurt again.
But for now, she guess she'll hold you tight,
And pretend the pain's not there;
she knows you 'd never hurt her,
she love you......So Goodnight,
Teddy Bear!
