That Christmas teddy bear
Underneath the tree
A special soft something
That Santa left for me
When the world felt cold and broken
I’d hug that teddy bear
Feel that soft sweet something
That made everything feel fair
A kindness from the red suit
The white bearded Santa Claus
A simple brown little teddy
Gave me a hope that it all would end
Mommy would say she loved me
Behind a genuine smile
And my dad would be there to kiss me
And sing me a lullaby
Ohh Santa I am so grateful
For the gift you gave to me
To see past the truth I’m seeing
To hope for new reality
At night I’ll sing a Noelle carol
And hold my teddy tight
And tomorrow will be better
By the end of my lullaby
A note: As a child, I always had stuffed animals. I never slept without them. I never thought about anything bad while holding one and they helped me to feel safe. I know that this poem is sad, but it is in essence a hopeful one. Those bad situations come to an end and there is always hope for bright spots in the future. Christmas to me is about hope and from that this poem was born.
