My Marshmallow

Strangled,
round her neck,
a faded pink bow.
Orange eyes,
hidden behind
rice like fur.
Boom!
She drops to the floor,
in the middle of the night.
Once lost,
in the sea of toys,
for days
on
end.
I was crying
until we found her.
Loveable,
warm.
As comforting as a hug.
A lovely, beautiful teddy.
