OUR ANGEL BEAR

OUR ANGEL BEAR

I am white and very pretty

With wings and halo too,

Right now I'm on a journey

I have a job to do.

I have been packed in tissue

With ribbons and a card,

I am here to help you

Because your journey's hard.

I'm travelling in a truck right now

Through a dark and winter night

I am safe within my box

I know I'll be alright.

As I travel over the miles

As a gift of love from you,

I know the task before me

I know just what to do.

My purpose is to comfort one

You hold so very dear,

To rest beside her as she sleeps

To help to keep you near.

I hope to soothe the pain she feels

And take away her fears

To be the one in the midnight hour

With whom she shares her tears.

It is a big task for me you know

I'm such a little bear

But I will be equal to the task you set

And carry with me your care.

I'll bring a smile to the one you love

And chase away the gloom,

She will think of you so often

As she glances round the room.

I must rest inside my box now

And tidy up my hair,

Make my dress all smooth and nice

Ready to express your care.

This little bear in honoured

To undertake this task

And willing to do all I can

And everything you ask.
