THE TEDDY

It is your room:

A room full of many things.

And among so many things,

There is a teddy in the corner.

Your eyes miss it sometimes

Among so many other things.

But it looks at you always

With its still lifeless eyes.

With its arms extended

It sits still in the corner.

Alone it was destined to be

But it does not want to be.

It is easy to forget the teddy

Because it is always there

To comfort you and be with you

Even when you don’t expect.

Now the teddy is there no more

And the corner it sat is empty.

Do you miss the teddy now?

And try to find it where it sat?

Do you now want your teddy back?

And feel sad now its not there?

Why did you forget it then

When it was there in your room?

Isn’t it strange that now you remember it?

Now that it is not there.

But you used to forget it so easily

When it sat in the corner.

Your teddy will be there always

To love you and care for you,

To comfort you and die for you,

If you just keep him in your heart.
