A Teddy Bear's Promise

Hold me close I'll never leave your side I'll be there when you need me most Don't worry about the night Tucked in, left alone in a room full of darkness The scary shadows that present themselves reaching towards you You'll never have to fret as I'll protect you. Although small, I'll watch over you while your asleep. I don't mind the wrinkles in my fur as it's my purpose The comfort of laying beside the one you love without regard for anything else but their comfort. The times your gone I'll sleep and wait until your return I know it won't be long. The joy of being held in times of need, the base of every smile every hug snuggled warm in blankets, wool pajamas Soon I know there comes a time to put all childish things away Including fears But before you pack me away in a box never to be seen again Promise you'll remember me just as I'm sure to never forget you
