A few poems for Teddy Bear lovers can be found at this link.
Here is a small part of my teddy collection. I am in the process of cleaning them, and they will be put away in their storage box until next December. Each Teddy reminds me of someone in my life. I have been gifted many by very special people, and each one brings back a memory of that loved one. Others my dear other half gave me when we were traveling. I have always had a love for Teddy Bears since I was a baby, which I have mentioned many times before. I haven't added to my bear family for a long time now, but those I have are treasured. In this sense they help me keep in touch with my inner child, and I feel that is an important thing to do.
