Bear-ly Poetic Take 2, The Lighter Side

Sometimes the quirky humor gets carried over into the poetic side of me.  Sometimes I'm vanilla, sometimes I'm chocolate, and sometimes I'm a "twist" (these are references to ice cream cones in case you did not recognize the term "twist").  Today I will share with you some of the lighter side of my poetry that accompanies, and sometimes defines, my teddy bear gifts.

Friendship Angel Bear

First, Friendship Angel Bear, dressed in a gold satin dress and trimmed in gold, comes with a lighthearted, but heart felt poem that reads:

Friendships, be they young or old

Are worth more than their weight in gold.

Simple, to the point, and the point driven home with the gold dress and trim.

Sister Angel Bear

A similar gift is the Sister Angel Bear.  This poem reads:

A silver thread of memories shared,

Laughter and tears together.

Sisters bound by family ties,

Now best friends forever.

Again, a simple, to the point poem that defines the overall look with the silver dress and trims.

The Menopause Angel Bear is one of my quirkiest, trying to take a humorous look at the challenges of going through menopause. This is written for all of the ladies in the sisterhood.  Poem reads:

Menopause Angel Bear

Oh Lord, help me through this day,

The "change" has not been kind.

I'm hot, I'm weepy, I'm up I'm down,

I think I'm losing my mind!

  

I've got my fan and tissue handy

Ready for what comes my way.

Watch over me, Lord, keep me sane

This is what I pray!

Garden Angel Bear

The last one for this post is Garden Angel Bear.  I admit it, I saw this fabric, loved it, and found a way to use it in a teddy bear gift.  (For a fabri-holic, the look of a fabric often trumps any other source of reasoning!)  The poem that accompanies this bear reads:

I plant the seeds, I water the rows,
But it's you, O Lord, who makes it grow.
Please send your sunshine and gift of life,
and Bless my garden day and night.

My next post might have to be on the some of the gorgeous fabrics that can drive a fabric loving person crazy!!!

Teddy Bear Angel to the Rescue!

Pink Ribbon and Hearts Angel Bear

More teddy bear angels have been added to the fold this week at Bear Family Gifts, LLC.  Another pink ribbon angel for breast cancer fighters, Pink Ribbon and Hearts Angel Bear.  Lovely white bear in a dress that is pink on pink on pink.  I think you get the picture.

Red and Purple Angel Bear

In shades of red and purple, I present the Red and Purple Angel Bear.  Pretty simple title and to the point, this bear is a sweet gift for the mature woman who lover her red hat and purple dress.

Get Well Angel in Purple

Continuing the Angel theme, we go to the Get Well Teddy Bear Gifts. We've added to angel bears here that come with my original poem, which you can read on the pages linked here.  The Get Well Angel Bear in Purple is cute, encouraging, and if the recipient loves the color purple, a great gift.

Get Well Angel Bear Large

The second new angel in this category is simply a larger version of our original Get Well Angel Bear.  Instead of 6" wide by 6" high, the Get Well Angel Bear Large is approximately 9" wide by 9" high.  Still cute, still an "I care about what is happening to you" gift.


You might get the idea that I really like dressing teddy bears in pretty dresses and attaching some wings and a halo, sometimes a poem as well.  Well, you're right, I do.  You might ask why, what's the big deal about angels?  I look at it like this.  The teddy bear, no matter how it is dressed, is simply a vehicle to deliver your sentiments to someone.  I think having a teddy bear dressed as an angel makes that sentiment a particularly heartfelt one.  But only you, the gift giver, can decide if it works for you.  I am simply here to pass on the message through my teddy bears if you choose.  And I am always happy to be a part of that message.

Angel Teddy Bear Gift - Special Gift in Time of Need

Pearl Angel Teddy Bear Gift Set

In April of 2003, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Scary stuff for sure.  Seven years later, I'm still here, feeling good, considered free and clear of the nasties.  That didn't happen overnight, and I didn't do it on my own.  Many skilled medical personnel were involved, and over all of them, God did His work, choosing to heal me and give me more time with my family.  And there were many friends who prayed for me, provided food and rides, picked up my young kids at school, etc.  I would never have made it through without all of those factors.  Out of that time was born an angel bear.  Her name is Pearl and she is dressed in pink satin with pearls at her neck, in honor of those women with breast cancer.  I wrote a poem that comes with the angel bear, which was written from the perspective of the friend who walks beside the woman going through breast cancer.  It is a gift that I believe would be cherished by someone who needed to know that a friend was there for them at time when they needed them most.  If you think Pearl would make a special gift for someone, you can read more about her and order her here: http://www.bearfamilygifts.com/pearl.html
