Discarded Teddy
Out for my morning walk
a teddy bear, caught my eye
discarded, lying limp on the kerbside
one eye, hung by a thread
missing an ear, and most of his fur
I sensed an awakening
as If this old bear
was talking to me
‘please take me home mister
I’ve more love to give’
how many feel this way
discarded from life
no longer anyone’s concern
all that bear needs
is another chance at life
and to feel some love.
