Nan’s good will bears

It’s easy to do something
good and kind
when you’ve got a plan on
your mind!
Every gesture of good will
begins with a thought.
I know I’m doing exactly what
I ought!
Over time I’ve collected
teddy bears
and believe me, this lady
really cares!
I’m giving away my bundles of
joy.
Each teddy is more than just
a stuffed toy!
Every one is an expression of
love
reminding me of God above!
From the board of directors
to the director of staff
They loved my idea, and
didn’t even laugh!
To the hospital ER my teddies
will go.
My love for little children I
want to show!
To provide them comfort and
peace,
a teddy will bring them sweet
release!
When they are sick or hurt
with fear in their eyes
the love of a teddy will
silence their cries!
Cuddly and clean, by golly,
by gosh;
my friend, Jeff, gave each
one a professional wash!
Jeff’s the best dry cleaner
in all the land,
always smiling and happy to
lend a helping hand!
Each teddy bear has been loved
by gentle hands before.
Now these children will take
them home and love them even more!
My teddies will serve to
remind one and all
It’s good to be loving and
kind to people big and small!
Now you know the story of
Nan’s good will bears,
all because this lady really
cares!
Author’s note: The good Lord
provides in abundance! My collection
began with 12 teddy bears and from April until July, has grown to more than 50
bears. People have also begun to donate
bears as word has spread about my plan. Sincere thanks go out to Aurora Tudela,
Greta Jordan and Jeff White and the Iredell Memorial Hospital Emergency Room
staff.
