A= Old Bear

Alone behind boxes of lego

Dips the smile of a
tatty old bear

His gaze wanders


To soft woollen blankets

And
sweet recollections

Of Emily's care


No more will he lie next to Emily


Cuddled and warm in her arms


Sharing dreams of lush meadow


And lollypop valleys

His fur
faded as ever his charms

His seams have long
tussled times calling

His ears have long countered
affray

Emily's children have bright wooden-puppets


As old bear is to precious to play
