Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

I Can'T Sleep Without You In My Arms

I’m feeling pretty pretty bad
A young child will be oh so sad
They left their precious teddy bear
On a comfy airport lounge chair

A lovely security guard
Tried oh so very hard
To reunite that teddy bear
That now is in his tender care

Guess it will be a fraught flight
And tonight a very sleepless night
The little one will be delighted
When bear and owner are finally reunited

Toquyen Harrell August 4, 2014 at 11:58 AM Ahh yeyy, I am glad. That could cause some discomfort. Nice one, Jan :) Jan Allison August 4, 2014 at 12:01 PM I guess there were tears when realisation hit - you could see the poor security guard trying his best, but it was too late by the time the bear had been found the plane had left. Hugs Jan xx

Tim Smith August 4, 2014 at 11:51 AM I remember having to go buy a new blankie....after the first kid...we bought 3 identical ones....hugs Tim Jan Allison August 4, 2014 at 11:58 AM Excellent idea Tim - it must be so traumatic for both parent and child when the favourite comforter is lost. Hugs Jan xxx

Casarah Nance August 4, 2014 at 11:45 AM Ohh poor little teddy bear, I've learned to keep extra dolls in my purse for Abby just in case we leave one somewhere. Hugs.

Regina Mcintosh August 4, 2014 at 10:25 AM Sweet... I LOVED my teddy bear when I was a child. Our house caught on fire and I screamed for my teddy bear - my dad went in and got it for me - (it wasn't a bad fire, though ).. Enjoyed the memory and the poem. God bless you... Also, I haven't ever flown!!! Scared to!!! Jan Allison August 4, 2014 at 10:34 AM Oh Regina I can sympathise with your predicament a comfort toy means the world to a young child in fact we purchased another identical toy for my son in case ... hope he doesnt read this he never knew LOL. We have two ways of getting off our little Island a journey by boat I call it 'the vomit comet' or flying so flying is the lesser of two evils only takes a short time to reach the destination. Hugs Jan xxxx
