Beary My Teddy
Fuzzy oak fur rubbing up against my face with its nose nuzzling my face! Beary has been with me for as long as I can remember. Although he is older than most teddy bears and is big in size, Beary has never left my side.
While I was in Australia, I often needed to be comforted after a hard day of school or a lecture from my parents. He never questions me or makes me feel wrong for my choice. He has maple tree brown for his fur and light brown ears and tummy fur. His little bow that is tied fast around his neck is the symbol of my everlasting bond with him. His short stubby legs with soft patches of fur on the soles of his feet and his arms to match are worn with the strain of the many times I have swept him off the ground and give him a big hug or piggy backed him! His deep brown eyes give him a wise look that makes me feel that I can tell him anything, and he can always reply with a positive and helpful, yet wordless answer.
I still confide in Beary about anything from homework questions to nagging thoughts. Sometimes he even wears a bandanna so he can match just like me! Overall, Beary is just like me in many ways. He can be confided in but sometimes just doesn’t have the answer. Something that many have told me i can be at times, although i still help every time I can.
As long as I can be with him, I know that I can be safe and be myself always and everywhere. Although he isn’t actually living, I make sure to sleep with him and keep him clean so that he doesn’t obtain any rips or holes! I may not always bring him along, because my friends would tease me if I did, but he never leaves my thoughts completely, even if he isn’t on my mind completely! Never the less, I love my teddy bear dearly and I would never be able to fall asleep without him!
