The Bear

It's small, green and fluffy
It's worth a lot to me
I think it's old as a fossil
It helps me feel better when I'm being hassled

I like hugging it when I'm tense
And tucking it away in bed
I feel its power guiding me
Every step of the day

It's love comes from my gran, who liked to play
Until the fateful day, that she passed away
Her time was up, her vast love spent
I always loved her to my heart's content

It's never easy, when a loved one dies
But the bear she gave me always reminds
It reminds me of her perfect smile
And the way she loved me as a child

I hope that the pain will be over
The pain of a loved one going away
Never going to see her
At least not during the day.
