Dear Teddy

Teddy,I've been bad again,My Mommy told me so;
Im not quite sure what I did wrong,
but I thought that you might know.
When I woke up this morning,
I knew that she was mad;
Cause she was crying awful hard,
And yelling at my dad.
I tried my best to be real good,
And do just what she said;
I cleaned my room all by myself,
I even made my bed.
But I spilled milk on my good shirt,
When she yelled at me to hurry;
And I guess she didn't hear me,
When I told her I was sorry.
'Cause she hit me awful hard,you see,
And called me funny names;
And told me I was really bad,
And I should be ashamed!
When I said,"I love you,Mommy,"
I guess she didn't understand;
Cause she yelled at me to shut my mouth.
Or I'd get smacked again.
So I came up here to talk to you,
Please tell me what to do;
'Cause I really love my Mommy,
And I know she loves me, too.
And I don't think my Mommy means,
To hit me quite so hard;
I guess sometimes,grown ups forget
How really big they are!
So Teddy,I wish you were real,
And you weren't just a bear;
Then you could help me find a way
to tell Mommies everywhere.
To please try hard to understand
how sad it makes us feel;
'Cause the outside pain soon goes away,
But the inside never heals!
And if we could make them listin,
Maybe then they'd understand;
So other children just like me,
Wouldn't have to hurt again.
But for now,I guess I'll hold you tight,
And pretend the pain's not there;
I know you'd never hurt me,
So Goodnight, Teddy Bear!
