The Teddy Bear

Poppin is my teddy bear button eyes of grey black and white his furry hair thats just a bit afray He's been a friend for such a time each lonely hour we sat together contemplating life and where it is we're at We clowned around and played a bit and slept together too when I was a bit depressed he was a shade of blue The earth was ours together upon us shone the sky rain did often soak his hair and got wet so did I A vicarious companion he was the only one neighbors were so far away much to far to come He'll always have a place with us a spot that we can share He's come of age and so have I and now he's losing hair Entwined we share the wisdom of childhood days gone by and draw upon the comfort as our journey draws to nigh COPYRIGHT © 2009 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC WRITTEN IN 1982
