Teddy Bear Sleeps 

I lay here in my shoe box bed 
I have gently been laid to rest 
"Hibernation" to be polite 
It's Lala Land for us who wait 

I am 'The Bear' freshly repaired 
Sleeping beside my owner's ash 
We've been lovingly put to sleep 
Blissfully we wait for new life 

Adi Beagle Dog gladly went 
She's in Doggie Heaven with God 
Serving her New Master up there 
In spirit I'm there by her side 

Here my still, sleeping body waits 
In it I'm confined until when 
A new child or puppy will come  
'Slightly used' I'll return its love 

Again I'll cheerfully rejoice 
at their command, "Go get 'The Bear'"
 _ _ _ _ 

I write here to give tribute to Margaret who has lovingly for years given us pictorial inspiration to write a new piece of poetry.

  1. The ‘shoe box bed’ you write of brings back warm memories of my own stuffed animal and doll beds. The haiku you gifted me ... awesome! Merry Christmas ...
