POEM BY When
I was visiting family in VT, I took my young niece to the "Teddy Bear
Factory" in Middlebury and bought her a bear. She named it "Sandy" and
wrote me a nice note about her two other bears on her bed, Lauri and
Bow"
|
The Story of the Three Bears; "Sandy, Lori & Bow" They sit by the side of Kim Kayhart’s warm bed All snug as a rug, this you know But the story’s not told of these three little bears Called Sandy, Lori and "Bow"
There was one winters eve, when the snow fell about That these three adventuresome bears Open the window and threw out the sash For they wanted to travel out there
On the roof they did venture, down a drainpipe they slid And fell on the frost just below, They could see not a thing, as they sputtered and spit A bit much for "Sandy", "Lori" and "Bow"
They saw in the distance a light all aglow And they tumbled and stumbled, some how Only to open the door and to find for themselves They were stuck in a barn full of cows
The wind it did whistled through the cracks in the barn The cows offered no shelter in here They huddled together and began to cry to themselves This adventure’s no fun, they all feared
How stupid we are, when we were perfectly warm And were all loved near Kim’s little bed But because we needed to try something new We are stuck in this cold barn, instead
The temperature dropped, it was 20 below Frost developed on their eyes and their ears Their noses were cold, each little paw was all wet Even winter had frozen their tears
Then a light from afar, it looked like a star Came ever so close and so near And there was an angel, with gossamer wings Oh!, there never was a sight oh so dear
"Fear not" said the angel, "I have been sent unto you" For GOD has heard of your prayer For while small children thank him each night before bed He hears even the prayer of his bears
Now it seems you have gotten yourselves in quite a jam For something like this could be doom Why don’t you hop right on up, on my gossamer wings And lets fly back to your favorite room.
And they returned their home and to Kim’s little bed Where they had always been found, as before And resolved to themselves, no more travels for them They could not wish for anything more
And that why today, all the "Teddy Bears" stay In the rooms and the beds, cause they know Of the adventures and trials of the three little bears Called , "Sandy, Lori and Bow"
And when you look from your room and see all the stars Give thanks to the angels above For they hear of your prayers and take them to GOD And he answers them because of his love
