My Favourite Toy

Thinking back to my childhood
When the time came to play,
There was always one toy,
That never drifted away.

His name was called Doggie
With eyes black and bold,
Soft blonde fur like summer sand,
Something about it, kept my heart aglow.

I told him all my secrets
He drank his cups of tea,
We always played dress ups,
He was king and I was queen.

He’s been on every holiday
Travelled the world with me,
I’ve read him every story
We’ve shared each other’s dreams.

His heart may never beat
But our friendship means much more,
A bond so strong, impossible to break
Nothing could split us, not even a war.
