Dear Lynda *
My name is John E Depp-Bear...
cousin to Ted E Bear...
named after that hot, sexy actor that you love.
Just a little about me
and how, to you, I came to be...
My cousins have brought comfort and care
to people in need when others couldn't be there.
It is my turn to do the same,
and that is why I came.
When you are in pain, just hold me close
and I'll bring comfort (along with your medical dose)!
When you are sad and blue,
I'll be there and will stick to you like glue.
When you want to cry,
Just give me a try...
My furry little body can hold more tears
than there are years.
When others cannot be here,
never fear...
For I am here in their place
a mere substitute for their face.
With me, you'll always find love
Until the time for heaven above.

* I wrote this poem for my friend Lynda Walters, who died of lymph node cancer a few days after it was written. Along with the poem, I gave her a great big teddy bear that was named after her favorite actor, Johnny Depp, to hold close when she needed comfort.
I miss you, Lynda!
I miss you, Lynda!
