The Teddy Bear
by Jay Miller
It lay in the corner
Lonely and forgotten
One eye missing
Its smile long gone
Its beauty lay not
In its physique
But in the years they spent together
The diligent nights it guarded her bed
The many night it sat, listening
As she cursed pigtails and boys
Acne and her mom, curfew and
The girls that were stealing her boy
He sat in the corner
Shy and forgotten
Eyes half-closed
On his lips, just a
Hint of a smile
His beauty lays not
In his physique
But in the years
They will spend together
The way hell listen as marriage
Isnt candlelight and roses
The way hell cry with her
As he holds their firstborn
The way hell hold her as
She cries when their son
Rides away on the yellow bus
And again as their daughter
Leaves to find herself at college.
In the way hell still wink
With a twinkle in his eye
As she eats the golden cake
