The Heart of a Teddy Bear

 He tries to act tough but

she sees past the mask he wears
His secret is safe with her;
it always will be this she can promise
from now on
She's sure others see past his toughness though

He inspires her to want more for herself
More than she knew she could give
He always makes her work hard
She loves to say he tortures her
She has a little secret of her own
she'd have it no other way
It's all worth it, if it will give
her a better quality of life

She sees right into the heart of a teddy bear
She never expected to find a friend
on this journey she's now on
Let alone someone who has
the heart of a teddy bear
The hugs they share are the
best moments of her day

To my friend with the heart of a teddy bear
I am so blessed to have you in my life
Thank you for everything you've done for me
Never stop being the tough guy with a heart
bigger than you let on
You have found your place in my heart
where you will forever stay
