Teddy knows my secrets (RIP Grandpa)

((My grandfather had been in the hospital for 7 weeks, and every night I held the teddy bear he gave me when i was little. On June 22nd 2007 he passed away, so this is dedicated to him))

She whispered secrets in his ear
ones she knew that he would keep
her grandpa promised to keep her safe
now she cries herself to sleep

Grandpa gave her, her first teddy bear
when she was 1 day old
he promised that it would protect her
it's secrets go untold

Teddy knew her secrets
through his ears to grandpas heart
it was like she told him everything
no matter how far apart

As he was in the hospital
teddy gave kisses to his cheek
followed by laughs and giggles
with not even a word to speak

A teddy to protect him
she put it next to his bed
hoping again, to keep him safe
one more kiss to his forehead

He said to her "please take it home,
I don't want for them to lose it"
so she took it then and held it close
in her arms he was a perfect fit

She held it close, every night
praying for him to get better
every night, she continued to write
another line of her letter

But I guess she asked too much from god
for he didn't answer her prayers
he took her grandpa away from her
and left her with only tears

She whispered one more secret
"I love you grandpa" is all she said
4 last words and 1 more tear drop
1 last kiss upon his head

She whispered secrets in Teddy's ears
ones she knew that he would keep
her grandpa promised to protect her
now she cries herself to sleep
