Sweet Charlie - My Teddy Bear

 

 

My darling Charlie

my best friend indeed

he was bought for me

with love guaranteed

 

It's been 10 years

and still he's there

next to my tears

on the ribbon he wears

 

Sleeping without him

is something I dread

when I'm all alone

laying restless in bed

 

He keeps me sane

during the dark night

when everything else

puts me in fright 

 

I won't give him up

he is more than a friend

he means more to me

then you could comprehend

 

My ex husband

bought me that bear

when promises he made

that he would be there

 

An ex as you can tell

he is to me

but my best friend

is what my bear would be

 

10 years later

he is still by my side

through good time and bad

and all the times I cried 

Author notes

As stated in the poem, my ex husband won Charlie for me at the Minnesota State Fair, 10 years ago. Every night I have been with my bear. He has gone through some of the toughest times with me, when I am so depressed that I can't even breath, he is there, when I want nothing more than to die, I squeeze him tight. Even though I am re-married and my ex husband is now re-married to someone else as well ... my Charlie is still my best friend. In the picture you will see he even has a small whole that I refuse to fix, because that is his natural wear and tear. I love him to death. I hope you enjoy a piece of me that not many people know!

  • Oh what a vivid write and very well done. How these inanimate things come to life with memories and the love we feel when we have them with us. Sorry for your tough times, have walked that walk too. Thanks for entering. Good luck.
