little plush bunny, don't be sad
        you'll only be here for a day
            while your boy is gone away
    he's a busy little lad ...

        (don't fuss about the dust)

little plush bunny, on the shelf
        patiently, you wait the day
            when your boy will come to play
    and hug you to himself ...

        (to save you from the dust)

little plush bunny, long, you sit
        waiting as the years go by
            how your boy has grown so high
    perhaps, in just a bit ...

        (he'll save you from the dust)

little plush bunny, you've been true
        all the years you hoped with joy
            that, back would come, your little boy
    to love and play with you ...

        (and save you from the dust)

    but ...

little plush bunny, gone is he ...
        who once embraced you, oh so tight
            held you safely through the night
    as comes an end, to boys as he
not made to last, like plush, you see
        he can not come to set you free ...

        (or save you from the dust)

stay on the shelf ... you must.

A beautiful write, Greg, from your very talented pen - the last paragraph left me a bit sad; I hope that part of the poem was a fictional write. Many thanks for your note of encouragement for the Solitude write and best to you as you continue your poetical journey - Bob

Yes, this is fictional, Robert, and meant to be sad ... the melancholy poinancy of life, the inexorable hands of time. So pleased you enjoyed it, my friend! Blessings and thanks to you! :-)
