O Teddy bear you are

O Teddy bear you are so plush

your small pink nose and dark chocolate fur 

have helped me sleep from dawn to dusk.

At lunch time we drink tea, 

At night we take a bath, 

But tomorrow you are no longer Teddy, just a bear.

I speed my bike down the street as fast as the wheels go

sixteen is an age for care free afternoons 

and eating pizza by the box 

I have my first heart break,

I cheer at my first game,  

But tomorrow I am no longer youthful.

I watch my pride and joy take her first steps

she stumbles and lands with a thud 

her tears met with a familiar friend.

Teddy with his plush tummy and,

Teddy being held tightly,

And I look forward to tomorrow.
