Poem Title:
Poem
I got my Teddy on my first Christmas Day, And ever since then in by my side he would stay, He would travel with me whilst out in my pram, And accompany me on both train and on tram, Off to the shops, or to visit my Nan, And so our adventure together began. Together we’ve seen the castles in Wales, And crossed the sea under square rigger’s sails, Danced at a céilidh in a Glaswegian Hall, Passed through the Schwartzwald and seen Berlin’s wall, Siberian lakes and Moscow’s Red Square, And wherever I went you’d find Teddy there. As I grew older my Ted was still there, And although he no longer would go everywhere, At the end of the day, when I’d rest my head, My bear would be waiting for me in my bed, And together we’d cuddle throughout the long night, Until we’d be woken by soft morning light. Now courting a boy with a stuffed toy in toe, Can become quite the embarrassment, so, Of Teddy’s existence I chose not to tell, Until I got to know my boyfriend well, But when I eventually did choose to share, I discovered my love had his own Teddy Bear! Now that twenty eight years have gone by, His fur has worn through and he’s losing an eye, But you’ll never believe the things that we’ve seen, Or all the wonderful places we’ve been, No other toy on Earth can compare, With my tatty and tired old bear!
