The Teddy Bear

As I look upon his face

Deep eyes they stare out

Showing love and care.

Whatever you do he loves you.

If all around is gone

You may hate and despise him,

But his eyes just love the same.

When he was rejected, thrown away

I thought I saw a tear

On the face of the teddy bear.

It made me think of God.

His eyes they look to you

Searching, loving, caring.

When life crashes around you,

You have nothing else,

You may despise and hurt Him

But, you can’t stop Him loving you.

He was rejected, killed even.

And I did see a tear

On the face of the Almighty God.

14^th July 1990, Northwich, England.
