Teddy

Given to me at birth
Sewn from soul
Stitched by my Nana
He sits on my shelf
Welcoming me everyday
His fur
As golden as pirate treasure
Even though he’s torn,
the bond is tight
Every time I look at him,
He reminds me of her
A link to my grandmother
My teddy is stronger than memory
Stronger than God
He whispers to me at night
Warding off
Evil spirits
Protecting me
From my worries
My teddy
