♥ I've made mistakes in my life. i've let people take advantage of me, and i accepted way less than i deserve. But, i've learned from my bad choices, and even though there are some things i can never get back and people who will never be sorry. i'll know better next time and i wont settle for anything less than i deserve. ♥

The best gift she ever received was a stuffed Bedtime Bear; she was pleased.

At the time it didn't really compare because it was only a stuffed, little bear.

Now, that the sender is gone the stuffed, little bear arose upon. She thought her world ended that day, with the horrible phone call she had to take.

Finally, her heart started to heal. It took time for her to comprehend what was real.

She still misses her best friend. She always wonders why his life had to end.

Years gone by, but still every night, her stuffed, little bear ,she holds him tight.

This is about my little cousin/best friend. He gave me a bedtime bear for my birthday, two days before he took his own life.

This was sad, yet very sweet and touching. I love the thought of expressing your feelings through a stuffed bear. Keep up the good work!

Though your poem was sad, it was touching. I can relate---bedtime bears give such comfort.
