Ode to my little stuffed friend

Little bear, little bear, help me defend
against all the bad stuff that tries to get in.

Bring comfort and solace amidst the high storms
that rage through my brain, sounding alarms.

Help me remember how tightly I’m held,
warm, safe and snuggled, the tempest is quelled.

A steadfast companion of calm fortitude,
you still all my worries and spark gratitude.
