My Teddy Bear

You were the color of the sun, of fresh lemonade
Your fur so soft and smooth.

Always happy, you made me smile uncounsciously,
Everytime I saw you,
Everytime I thought of you, and
Everytime I picked you up.

I carried you around with me everywhere,
Refusing to let you go out of my sight,
And finding comfort in you
Whenever some dreadful disaster came.

When I cried, you listened.
I knew you would understand.

Your very presence made life better than it already was.
