Cute and cuddly
some would think you're innocent
Sitting all serenely up on my bed
Breathing in the days as they fly by
But what really did you do on February 22, 2011?

When I heard about your history
It was such a mystery - how could you sparkle in the sun
With goodness that brightens up my day
After you cracked the earth and crumbled buildings.

Holding you in my arms I could never let go
of the memories you hold
Looking into your chestnut brown beady eyes
I can see her face with that loving smile she always had.

Your ribbon frays as the days flash past your eyes
Locked in - never leaving my prison-like room
“Are you bad luck?”
You can't be.
But what really did you do on February 22, 2011?
You cracked the earth and crumbled buildings
many died.
