My daughter turned five yesterday.
It’s amazing how fast they grow.
I knew she’d love her new stuffed bear,
But of course, Teddy told me so.
Each time I saw her holding him
I’d smile and ask her, “Did you know
That I love you,” and she would say
“But of course, Teddy told me so!”
When her mother and I divorced
I knew it would be quite a blow.
When I said I still cared, she said
“But of course, Teddy told me so!”
