Where are you,

Teddy Bear?

I loved you so much

And I still do

But you are gone

Why?!

I try to ask people

But no one has found you

Some people don’t even look

But Mommy tells me

“They didn’t get to see your bear through sparkling eyes like you got to”

You let me hold you

Everywhere

On the twisty slides

In the bumpy car

At my overcrowded home

And through the hot summer days

I wish you stayed,

Teddy Bear

Because no bear

At any store

Wears a birthday hat

Made by me

Like you do

I can’t find you

No matter where I look

Mommy tells me

That you are probably

At a nice cottage

Sitting by a fireplace

Safe and warm

But that’s not here

I want you here and

Nowhere else

I don’t want to have to

Cry for you anymore

Like I do every night

Or call to you while

Staring at the emptiness

Between the golden stars

Like I do every night

I just want you by my side

But now

Mommy is asking me

To be brave

And close my eyes without you

Since it’s been weeks

I don’t want to

And I’m scared

But my eyes are swollen

And I am only seven

So I don’t know

How much longer I can go

Without rest

And I know you

Always got lonely

Just waiting on my bed

When I would stay up late

So tonight, I will try

But Teddy Bear.

I will always love you

I will always remember

You as my first best friend

I love my other friends

But you,

Teddy Bear,

Will always be

My very

Very

First🧸🩷

Love,

Mimi
