A Teddy Bear's Enterprise.

by ghosts in bloom   Sep 22, 2007


A child's smile reflects, in two purple button-eyes
A hand-sewn silhouette, stitched in perfect size.

A pink lace ribbon wrapped, with bow around it's neck
Just like the child's arms, when Mom comes in to check.

"Goodnight," she says, "my little one." as she reaches to out the light
"I'll see you in the morning, when the sun is shining bright."

"Mommy? ..." the small child said, with curious, eager stare
Remarking "I think Teddy's grown!", and holding it in the air.

"Indeed, I think he has!" says Mom, "And in the 'morn you'll see,
That Teddy's even fatter, and stuffed with dreamer's potpourri."

"So lay down your head, hold Teddy tight,
Close your eyes, and say goodnight.
Breathe in that scent, of your dreams in flight,
And paint the sky, with colors bright.
Goodnight, my love, goodnight."
Mom says while turning out the light.

    Awww this was just so beautiful! The story you told just blew me away of how you took something so simple that people take for granted and turned it into a masterpiece. I feel like this could be in a childrens book that could be read to them before they fall asleep because there was something so tranquil about it. I felt safe after reading this, like everything is going to be alright...beautiful.

    The ending was flawless, so sweet and wonderful that I wanted to read this over and over. Your rhyming flowed nicely and nothing seemed forced or out of place. Your beginning was so beautiful with its descriptions and imagery that I was hooked from right there.

    Thank you for sharing, I am glad I read this.

    Well done.
