A Poem for Bear

By Maw Maw Cindy

My dear little Bear who sleeps soundly and tight

So peaceful and trusting, your cares free and light.

I give you these blessings to hold all your life

To keep you through times you face earthly strife.

I bless your bright eyes with visions of hope

To brighten your darkness with no need to grope

At things this world offers as fool’s gold - no worth

To steal what God’s promised from your very birth.

I bless your sweet mouth to speak words of truth

From God’s Holy Word you learn from your youth.

These truths crush the lies the enemy sews

Don’t let them take root, these lies are your foes.

I bless your soft hands with God’s loving touch

To share with this world, it needs Him so much

With strength and compassion and healing inside,

Let God use your hands and in His love abide

I bless your cute feet to be steadfast and sure

His feet took the nails that keep you secure

When sometimes you stumble, and losing your way

He draws you back close, He won’t let you stray.

I bless your whole life with eternal joy

As life takes you forward my sweet baby boy.

Remember I love you, deep down to my core

Live life with abandon, in Him free to soar.
