Ode to My Teddy Bear

Oh, dear Teddy, my faithful companion,

Through the years, by my side, you've been,

A constant presence, an extraordinary creation,

My childhood memories are forever within.

In those days of innocence and play,

Where imagination held no boundary,

You, my bear, were the soul that kept me at bay,

With your gentle gaze, a friend so foundry.

From the dawn of my very first steps,

To the haunting darkness of nights unkind,

You shared laughter, tears, and dreams with me,

A solace in this chaotic world we find.

Your fur, once fluffy, slightly worn with age,

Now holds the stories of countless nights,

Where we battled dragons on an enchanted stage,

Or sailed the seas under the moon's soft lights.

Through scraped knees and dreams savored,

You listened, my Teddy, patiently,

No judgment passed or favors flavored,

Just love and comfort, eternally.

As time spun its fragile thread,

And innocence began to fade away,

You, my bear, remained by my bed,

A symbol of love that will always stay.

Though others may see you as ordinary,

I find in you a treasure so pure,

For within your stitches, a story legendary,

A testament to a love that will endure.

Now, as I hold you, my dear bear,

Gently worn, but never forgotten,

Childhood memories eternally share,

Moments cherished and forever begotten.
