I know I'm just a toy with eyes round and black,
I am just filled with stuffing but love I don't lack.
I heard you are in the hospital and want you to know,
I have bear hugs and kisses on you to bestow.
I will watch all the nurse and tell you when they are near,
For I have big black eyes and keen little ears.
I hope you feel better for I'm the care bear you see,
And I will take away all those bad feelings so you can run free.
Now while you are in there healing,
there is one thing you must do.
when those nurses come in,
and crowd around you.
Give me a hug and a giggle to share,
this will make them all aware.
that I'm here to see you get better and smile each day,
for care bears are just that way.
Do what the Dr and nurses tell you to do,
and eat up all your food and drink your juice.
If you feel cold ask for a blanket they don't mind,
and try to ask before you get cold for they take their sweet time.
I will whisper a bear prayer,
and it will keep you safe.
And try to remember keep a smile upon your face.
For a smile means your getting better,
and that's what the Dr wants to see.
And if he ask you where you got it,
tell him my care bear gave it to me.

Nice little poem (and my favorite kind, a poem intended to be read by someone specific)... but seriously, that dog creeps me out.
Anything with 'boggle' eyes, real or fake, creep me out man. I feel like smacking em in the face to pop their eyes back in!
But poem. It's very nice, the only thing that I'd say is the first stanza, last two lines, feel laboured (because of the know / galore lack in rhyme).
Here's a suggestion:
"I heard you are in the hospital and you should know
I have bear hugs and kisses on you to bestow"
Bestow is a great word to have in your vocab. Rhymes really easy and can be so useful
