For my little girl who I never stopped loving...

The little girl looked up at her daddy Said I know you have to go But can you buy me something So I won�t forget to know That my daddy loves me deeply Like you just told me so A teddy bear would do just fine Then I will let you go� The father�s arms did tremble As he hugged her to his breast His teardrops burned like acid Though to smile he did his best He said I�d buy you moonbeams Heck I�d buy for you the moon To hold our hearts together Till I see you again real soon So yea I�ll buy you a stuffed toy Anyone you choose just from me I�ll fill him full of extra love So next to you I�ll always be The other day that little girl got married Down the aisle with her the father walked Tears of happiness shared together She held on close and they quietly talked She said look their beside your seat Dad An old friend of ours is here The father looked and to his surprise There sat that worn and ragged goodbye teddy bear.

Fee,
There is just something so precious of the bond between a father and daughter, and you have captured it's essence so wonderfully in this write.
She treasured that bear and still does, though the Goodbye reads two ways to me. When you left her years before, it was a Goodbye bear just for you and her, at her wedding, it became a Goodbye bear, as she became joined with her spouse.You'll always be the Dad!!
SOBS...I so miss mine!!
Love n hugs teddy bear Fee

This is adorable! Birgit too had a Teddy from Daddy, who lived a long and happy life, until her children put an end to it :-).
A wonderful real-life love story that will always have a happy end!

Tender and loving and a heart that can never be replaced. The Teddybear verse caused tears in my eyes. I could see you and your daughter when she was small and as you escorted her down the aisle with pride...chest out and eyes alive and sparkling.
You're a super father Fee.
