The child’s favorite teddy bear
Lost within the move,
Teddy within the wrong pile of toys
Sign says “All must go”
And all went before the move.
Teddy, come back to me.
Restless nights
With uneasy naps.
Sorrowful eyes, no water
Left to drip and form tears.
Bags so heavy and deep
Time has stained them maroon.
Teddy, come back to me.
No toy could replace
The original bear.
For teddy was more than bear.
A timeout companion,
More patient than the clock tower.
Sleeping protector,
Stronger than the noblest knight.
Secret keeper,
That no key could unlock.
Teddy, come back to me.
Nights pass with no return,
Secrets lost never to be unlocked,
Not a bear to ever replace
What didn’t belong in the sale.
A trip to the thrift shop
Unsuspectingly finding a treasure
Not worth a dime.
Teddy, came back to me.
