You Have a Teddy Bear They Say
Burly bear takes direction from young human girl
She is not demanding but does have swag and attitude
From other humans she shelters burly bear,
Keeps him a safe secret she only shares with those she trusts
At first only grandma, later her mother
Oh goody! You have a sweet teddy bear, they say
Discounting him as a simulated animal in her keen imagination
Not realizing he is full grown, even bigger than she is
Her totem animal, her spiritual protector, sent by Mother Nature
He is of use until she stops believing in him.
