Her Teddy Bear (Poem -2006)

I'm the teddy bear, 
She's had since she was born, 
I'm showing signs of ageing now, 
My fur matted and worn. 

I'm her teddy bear, 
She used to hold at night, 
I'm the one who knew instantly 
When something wasn't right. 

I'm her teddy bear, 
I've watched her through the years, 
I'm the one who's been there 
To absorb her tears. 

I'm her teddy bear, 
You know I've seen her cry, 
And it's me who listened 
When she asked me 'why'? 

I'm her teddy bear, 
I've seen her slam the doors, 
The days when she would come home cross, 
And throw me on the floor. 

I'm her teddy bear, 
She used to rub my ears, 
I've been there when she's cried in pain 
And consumed by fear. 

I'm her teddy bear, 
You know, I witnessed their first kiss, 
I'm so happy and proud of her, 
She deserves moments like this. 

I'll always be her teddy bear, 
I still see her every day, 
She's more smiles than tears now 
And he makes her that way. 

I'll always be her teddy bear, 
Though it's him she holds at night, 
Sometimes I do feel jealous 
But I know it's only right. 

I'll always be her teddy bear, 
And now she is his wife, 
I'm so glad she has brought me along, 
To watch over her new life…
