The little boy took his teddy and placed him on his bed,
then told it listen closely at things that must be said.
Mommy and daddy think I don't know, but I must go away,
God waits for me in Heaven and I could go there any day.
You're the only one I can trust besides my dad and mom,
so do the things I ask of you to keep their spirit calm.
I know things that will hurt them, so watch out for every one
and promise to let them hug you when they have begun.
If you promise to be sweet to them and do everything they say,
I know they will love you, as I do, and always let you stay.
When you see they think of me and their eyes look really sad,
then go and let them hold you, so things won't seem so bad.
Teddy lay with his little friend while the Angels came that night
and an Angel touched the toy, so it glowed in God's pure light.
At the service his mommy held the bear while weeping for her son
and in Heaven the little boy smiled, teddy's job had just begun.
