His small soft arms receive every offered hug
A grandmother's special attention lends him stories and explanations unnumbered
His eyes still gleam in the right light
16 years is long for a teddy, but he's weathered life well and he will weather many more
He's been bitten by kitties and by children; his limbs twisted, and sat on by many
He remains resolute
He's taken more car rides than any other mute known to me
But his renewed smile gleams no matter how grueling his situation may be
A ridiculous and fantastic assortment of multicoloured wonder is he
My dear bear
