Mr. Teddy Bear, I need to have
A little talk with you
About some of the things
You have seen Daddy do
You have seen him hit me
Till I fell to the floor
You have seen my tears fall
Till I couldn't cry no more
Mr. Teddy Bear, you have seen
Me hungry and cold
With nothing but a dirty blanket
And you to hold
You have seen the bruises
I hide from the world
Can't let them know Daddy
Hit's his little girl
Mr. Teddy Bear, You have seen
Me hide in horror and fear
Of the sound of Daddy's footsteps
I know I'll hear
You are my best friend
I can confide in you
Mr. Teddy Bear, Please tell
Me what to do...
Shhhh I can hear Daddy coming
Bounding up the stair
Don't let him hit me again
Mr. Teddy Bear

Your poem truly brings to light the plight of far too many abused children; and you write about their plight so gallantly.
