A Teddy Bear Moment

Image by Teresa Teixeira

Let me take you to a place

it is safe and warm, a beautiful space

the grass is soft on our bare feet

and the presence of God makes it complete.

It is in a meadow surrounded with trees

and I bend down upon my knees

and spread out a blanket upon the grass

and hope that time will slowly pass.

And on the blanket we sit and listen

and watch the dew, as still it glistens

and in the quiet, your hand I hold

and with my eyes, a message told.

The birds all serve as a heavenly choir

and with this song our spirits lift higher

and the fear and hurt lived with day to day

for a precious moment is gone away.

It is peace we feel, peace like no other

as we are embraced by our own Earth Mother

and this moment together we share

cuddled close, holding tight,  like a teddy bear.

And for just a while the earth stands still

so we can rest, so we can heal

and our spirits merge together and pray

that our scars will be worth it one of these days.
