Many ladies have helped in donating and making the little quilts.

I’m not a very fancy bear -

I’m plain and rather small.

Even so, someone who likes you,

Said that I should come to call.

Hide me underneath your pillow

Or set me on a nearby shelf,

And when you feel discouraged

I will do my best to help.

I brought my favorite blanket

That I snuggle when I’m sad.

It’s a present from my Granny,

Made for days when things seem bad.

My Granny always told me,

"Life is like this patchwork quilt,

Just give Jesus all the pieces

And He’ll make a pretty quilt."

Sometimes I don’t see the pattern -

Sometimes He seems far away.

Then, I clutch my favorite blanket,

And I pray.... and pray.... and pray.

Though I don’t have all the answers,

(For I’m just a ‘Burden Bear’)

I’ve been sent here on a mission

From someone who really cares.

When you see me, please remember,

YOU are in their thoughts and prayers.

"Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

Galatians 6:2
