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! :-)
