Oh Where Is My Teddy Bear ?

childrens storytelling

"Time now for bed" My Mummy said,
as we climbed up the stair.
Now in you get and don't forget,
to take your teddy bear.

But look and see, he's not with me,
not since this afternoon.
And it is late, well after eight,
we need to find him soon.

Oh maybe there, upon the chair,
or here beneath my bed.
He may be stuck, please take a look,
and check for Mr Ted?

I wonder if he's tricking me,
by hiding in my drawer.
No Mister Bear is not in there,
we need to search some more.

Please feel that lump, that bear shaped bump,
there halfway down the sheet.
That's not his nose, those are my toes,
upon my little feet.

It's late at night, I'm tucked up tight,
my pillow soft and deep.
But at days end, without my friend,
I feel I cannot sleep.

Just look once more, behind the door,
for we were playing there.
You clever child, My mummy smiled,
you've found your teddy bear.

So time for bed, for me and ted,
the even tide has come.
Turn off the light and say goodnight,
sweet dreams I love you mum.

Awwwww this is such an adorable poem! I'm actually adding it to my library! Your rhythmic words are perfect! I'll let you on a little secret! I still have a teddy bear that sleeps with me! Our inner child never grows up & when you need that comfort your teddy is always there faithfully! I truly love this poem! You touched my inner child! :)

Love this! (and the fact that I still sleep with one just adds to it for me ;)

This is very sweet, and the flow of it is amazing. Just all the rhyming makes it great. And as KimLove said you're amazing when it comes to Children's poems.

wonderful, airy write Inyourshadow
I loved the cadence and sweetness of your delivery. The rhyming flowed beautifully without getting in the way of the message...
As I read, I pictured illustrations every two lines and in many of the stanzas...with each line. I could imagine reading this to my children while playing with their toes...and saying nite...
Well done, Iys......well done

Wow while reading this I was picturing each stanza in a child's book drawing type imagery if you will, and I must say. I think this would make an awesome children's book. Excellent work..xx
