The Teddy Bear
Poppin is my teddy bear
button eyes of grey
black and white his furry hair
thats just a bit afray
He's been a friend
for such a time
each lonely hour we sat
together contemplating life
and where it is we're at
We clowned around and played a bit
and slept together too
when I was a bit depressed
he was a shade of blue
The earth was ours together
upon us shone the sky
rain did often soak his hair
and got wet so did I
A vicarious companion
he was the only one
neighbors were so far away
much to far to come
He'll always have a place with us
a spot that we can share
He's come of age and so have I
and now he's losing hair
Entwined we share the wisdom
of childhood days gone by
and draw upon the comfort
as our journey draws to nigh
