    Poem Commentary

    I was thinking this morning about my teddy bear that I sleep with (you're never to old, see?)
    And I thought, what about when you get rid of your Teddy?
    What Then?
    And so... I made this...

    The Teddy Bear Cares

    Right when you get it, and you cry in your crib
    He won't mind the drool, that falls off your bib
    and he won't mind the smells that come from your underwear
    The Teddy Bear Cares

    He is there for comfort when you first learn to walk
    He is the companion that understands your talk
    And the babbles and the whines and the smiles and the cheers
    The Teddy Bear Cares

    When you start school, and when you start to learn
    He is the one who waits, at home for your return
    He listens to times you had, loves the times you share
    The Teddy Bear Cares

    He is your comfort when the parents start to fight
    He is your protection when you sleep at night
    He guards against the monsters that are lurking everywhere
    The Teddy Bear Cares

    And when you forget him, and somewhere he hides
    he waits for yout to find him, wherever he may lie
    He waits to have more fun, even when you don't care
    The Teddy Bear Cares

    And when you come to throw away
    he knows no hate to what you say
    the simple toss, that stings the air
    The Teddy Bear Cares

    And when you change your mind, "Hey Wait!"
    But you realize that it's too late
    somewhere in a landfill, buried there...
    The Teddy Bear Cares

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
