Mave

Nestled deep within my pillows
Alongside Cooper, her partner in crime
Pink like a rose, tastes like lilac
Smells like warm-dried laundry
Her colour fading, her love growing
Pink and fluffy, with two perky ears
Like miniature mountains
Large black eyes rimmed with a bold brown
A fiery orange nose woven from wool
Like my dad, comforting and secure
Like my mum, there when I need her
It’s important because she is a hug store
But most importantly she is my best friend
Given to me as a gift when I was born
That guardian of the darkness snuggled up beside me
A hand held close, furry and soft
She puts a smile on my lips
Her jumper saying love; she definitely is
My best friend; but for now I need her
When I’m older, she will go on the teddy bear timeline
The place of remembrance; she will never be forgotten
My teddy bear – Mave
