I got you a gift she's a soft and snugly mouse Your favorite Yeah, I still remember We haven't changed that much

Today was confusing You found a kind of toy you liked but you aren't allowed to have it all because other people would laugh at you That's not okay

I can't get one like it but I did bring you her someone to cuddle with at night and you can carry her around and take care of her just like that doll you wanted

I hope you carry her around without fear I hope you carry yourself without fear I hope you can hold her and not be afraid to be who you are

It's okay to be who you are to be what you are Cos in the whole world There is only one of you

That's why you are the real gift

When I was sick You'd whisk me away To adventures with your friends And make it a good day

There were lessons to learn There was wisdom to teach A world of simple joy All within my reach

We bounced and trounced We worried and pondered We celebrated and whooped We gazed and we wandered

I'll never forget those times No, I wouldn't dare All the adventures in your woods Me and you, you silly old bear

It’s been a long time since I put you away and thought I’d never see you again but I unpacked you today

Bringing me comfort when I most need it Soft and warm, shielding me from a world so cold My eternal friends, always there You never judge, you never scold

In spite of the times we yelled at one another We got through it together To the years of spaceships and video games Of action figures and code names Through that whole time our friendship survived

On that first day of school when you didn’t know anyone at all I was there so you wouldn’t feel afraid.
