Teddy, Cuddly Toy, Toy, Teddy Bear, Cute

I came to live here when I was a brand new bear, and shared a room with a little girl with long hair; it was a pretty room from where I sat in a chair, sometimes the little girl gave me a dress to wear ! I lay on the bed at night to watch over the girl, in front of the mirror she liked to dance and twirl; often, we left the room and skipping would whirl, sometimes, spinning, spinning we would swirl ! One day my little girl was a women all grownup, and on the bed I sit- seldom does she pick me up; I live in the room that I shared with a sweet pup, now, I watch over a lady with a chipped teacup ! ___________________________ January 24, 2022 Poetry/Monorhyme/Teddy Bear's Story Copyright Protected, ID 01424-059-24 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Theme chosen - a stuffed toy Written for the Premier contest, Pride of Place sponsor, Julia Ward, Judged 02/09/2022

Aw, this poem is so sweet, so poignant. The poor little bear feels neglected and no longer useful, but he is full of wonderful memories of a time that was. Fantastic. Fine writing, as always, Constance.
