Extra Terrestrial Doll

When I was a child, I had a stuffed E.T. doll
Everything I did, he too would do it all

He was my constant companion
To the openess skies and the deepest canyons

I never did outgrow my best friend
Though his tattered arms and legs would join his end

I only wish I had him back
To quell my often anxiety attacks

Bravo Robert! He is always with you and watching with his plastic eyes. I still have my fathers Teddy bear from 1936 which he rubbed the ear plain off! He kept everything and yesterday was his birthday and on the 26th of March he had died so…. I enjoyed reading!!
