Molly Bear
With silky fur so soft and gray,
I waited in a box to play.
December second, nineteen ninety two,
was the day that I met you.
Looking through my big brown eyes,
I saw that you were mesmerized.
My head was straight, my face unworn,
but over the years, it has been torn.
You never let me leave your sight,
and held me close with all your might.
You dressed me up on Halloween,
and in every photo I can be seen.
I’ve been many places by your side,
in the car, plane, or a long train ride.
I have seen you stressed, angry, upset, and mad,
but when you are happy, I am so glad.
My nose is tattered, and I am falling apart,
but you will always hold a special place in my heart.
