Stuffed
Two toy animals
For years loved
Worn by play
In tiny hands
Missing both
Are their eyes
Seams spitting
Deeply loved still
By a little man
Till one day
One was gone
Thrown away
As too old
And too worn
Still was loved
Still deeply missed
Woke a fear
In a little man
Of the wear
On the other
Hid it away
No more played
Kept it safe
Had it stay
Long years hidden
Till a man
Took out his toy
Still deeply loved
