Bear Bear
to my brother timothy
i wanted to give u something that u would treasure and adore,
so i give this small and precious gift once given from before,
i remember when u claimed him and took him off of my bed,
i complained and mom said "he's little, let him have it, it's just a stuffed bear"
she said,
little did i know the comfort you'de receive later from this tiny little bear,
you gripped him tight underneath your arms with tender, loving care,
each day i'de watch u carry him everywhere, and later came to understand,
that this gift once received when i was sick, was soon meant to be placed in your
hands,
god knew the comfort of this bear at the time that u would need,
and taught me my very first lesson in life, it is better to give than to receive,
i go back in time to count the things gods shown me to view his love,
to use the smaller things in life that he's sent from up above,
he gives us tokens, big and small, to teach us of who he is,
what u think in life belongs to u, is not really yours but his,
it's in these small things that touch our hearts, and directs us where we should
go,
to show us his infinite, undying love for us, and helps our character to grow.
l love you with all my heart, and am so proud of you.
