Daisy bear

You were always there to protect me
through the dark and cold of night
i would hold you close beside me
and squeeze you in so close so tight

We would pretend were in another place
so free and full of fun
were no one could ever hurt us
and and life had just begun,

I would tell you all my secrets
about the happenings of the day.
I would often whisper in your ear
please take this pain away.

although you couldn't stop the the life
or path that i was led
i would sit with you for hours
just alone on my bed

And each time that we heard
a footstep made or maybe two.
a door slide open
i would just reach out for you,

you would take me to that place
so free and full of fun
and the pain wouldn't hurt
and again it was done.

so now that i am older
and the fears have faded too
i can look around my life
and it doesn't seem so true

your still here to protect me
with a eye missing or two
my favorite little bear
we made it because of you,
