Sitting stoically
Two furry faces
Gaze upon faded photos.
Once cherished,
Hugged, wept over,
Drooled on
Forever friends
Now
Silent sentinels
Chewed ears
Button eye
Pablum stained
Guardians
Of a fading
Moment.

But so well-loved from a child teething, being dragged around by tiny hands and being hugged… which cannot never be done too much. A bit of nostalgia is sweet, John.
