No Ordinary Bear

Wearing a pink jacket
is the silky, soft cuddly bear.
One and only special toy
eyes darker than a black panther’s coat,
fur softer than a piece of silk.
Early in the first morning’s light,
it licks its tongue on window sills.

A furry seal
smelling sweeter than strawberry jam,
with the warmth of day to keep you safe.
It tells many stories from the past,
for the day I got it
I was in an ambulance chair…
