Teddy Bear
It is so sad to see a teddy bear
Left all alone
Where is the child you loved
The one you comforted during the storms
The one who told you all their secrets
The one who promised they would always be your friend
The one you protected from the monsters under the bed
You know they didn’t mean to leave you
Drop you in a place where you may never be found
You know that they loved you too much for that
They have more secrets to share
There will be a million more storms
There will always be a monster under the bed
In that child’s mind
When they are frightened they will think of you
Remember that you were there for them
Remember that you kept them safe
And if you are lucky another child will find you
Take you home and share their secrets with you
Hide under the blankets with you in a storm
And show you the monsters who hide under their bed
Then maybe they will make you their bestest friend
