A toy

This small present I received as soon as I opened my eyes, had a story to tell…
I cast my eyes upon a small toy but I knew it was more than a toy, I stroke it.
soft fur as white as sun-dappled sand,
eyes brown like autumn oak leaves,
and a star in the center.
This small toy doesn’t look like much,
but it is more than you would know.
This small toy has shared memories, experiences, pain and joy
This small toy reminded that I have no boundaries,
my borders are as vast as the ocean
This small toy showed me that I could do anything.

I would hold this small toy.
This small toy would comfort me
This small toy talked to me
This small toy told me a story
This small toy said
I should not stick to what I know but explore what’s beyond the horizon

So I did.
