Teddy What Do You See

Seeing things from a different perspective. Watching day in and day out, As people come into buy milk, newspapers and other items. Yet I see everything, no one knows I am watching. Silent as a mouse, still as a deer. I was there when the old man heard about his wife's disease. I was listening when he found out about the new addition to the family. I am the teddy bear up on the shelf, that has been collecting dust all these years. That no one thinks about, but I am still here

I agree with Dr. Ram. This is a deep and intriguing poem, Cory. The teddy bear may be forgotten, but he knows everything going on in the household. Well done! Best wishes, Carolyn

I enjoyed this one, Cory. Hope you don't stay mad at me forever for thinking you young. Anyway, I'm 55, and even 30 is young to ME these days!!
