Last Night

He was passed out asleep

With one harm holding me tightly

Bringing to image

A toddler sleeping with his teddy bear

And I dreamt about the velveteen rabbit

How loved he was

How secure he felt

How safe...

Until the boy grew up

Grew bored

Fell in love with other toys

Or just fell out of love with childhood fancies

And was forced to toss the beloved rabbit away
