Sometimes I think maybe I should spruce up this Hug Award
after seeing some of the other awards on the internet
...flashy, colourful, 3d and so on.
But naw, after looking at poor ol' Freddie I think I'll leave him as is.
Cuz he looks kinda worn out from giving so many hugs.
And that's what I think teddy bears should look like
...worn out and frazzled from giving out hugs all the time :)
...so display the Great BIG Teddy Bear Hug Award with love, Freddie's just like me, a big pooh bear who loves giving and getting hugged!
Thank you "beary" much!
Thanks from all of us here at Freddie's Pad!
Tom with Kaie (his first teddy)
Some send me a beautiful poem from time to time
so i'd like to share them with ya!
The kids are growing and leaving home
Here I sit, once again alone.
I look out the window, up at a star
And silently wonder where you are.
You left so quickly, there was so much to do
I didn't tell you enough how much I love you.
The last gift you gave to me
Has become a member of the family
I see your face, I feel your love
Every time I hug the teddy that came from up above
You're not here, but I know you care
I see it in that teddy bear.

When I was but a child
My Grandpa could make me smile
When he got down on his knee
and played his walking bear for me
so I've always associated a teddy bear with love
and he'd fit on that page snug as a bug in a rug

My faith's a bit shaky
Can't seem to find my way.
My life's a bit depressing
(I'm not havin' a real good day.)
A hug would not cure me
But it would sure help me thru,
And if you send me one
Then I'll send one back to you!
-------------------------------------------------
As I sit in my chair,
And look around,
Not a friend in sight,
Which makes me frown.
I turn to a teddy bear,
And what do I do?
I give it a hug,
I wish it'd give me one too.
It'd make me feel special,
It'd make me feel worthwhile,
Cuz a bear hug will last you
For miles and miles.
So if I had one wish,
I'd wish it to be,
That you'd be ever so kind,
And donate a great big bear hug to me.
Hope that you send one over!
