A Bear, Just For You

I made this bear, just for you
Because I love you, yes I do.
The arms are wonky, the legs are wrong,
The ears are too small and the body’s too long.

It may be stupid, it may be funny,
But I gave it to you because you make my days sunny.
Soon it will be old, it will rip and tear,
But it shows you just how much, I really do care.
