The Burden Bear

I am your little "Burden Bear,"

I'll give you comfort if you have a care;

No matter how big, no matter how small,

Just come to me and tell me it all.

I will listen to you with all of my heart,

I'll tell you "I love you" right from the start;

And because I love you, I'll do what I can;

To give you a lift or to hold your hand.

Until you need me on a shelf I will be,

Waiting and watching very patiently;

I'll give you a hug, I'll give you a kiss,

When all of your loved ones you feel that you miss.

Because I really love you, I want you to know,

I'll always be with you wherever you go;

And please feel you are loved by God and me.

And OH! don't forget by your sweet family.
