It’s just a little thing I thought of when lying on my bed shifting Patch’s bio around ^^
SOFT TOYS/ AN ODE TO PATCH
A silent watcher, carefully poised
A source of comfort to girls and boys
And those of us still young at heart
Who cannot bear to tear apart
Our childhood memories, rife with noise
Games and merriment and our soft toys.
Some of us scoff at this silly thought
But don’t forget that you were bought
A protector who, in the dead of night
Fought hard against a world of fright
Made of monsters, critters and creeps galore
Which hid behind your bedroom door.
In your wardrobe too, and under the bed
Without old Teddy you would sooner be dead.
Those bright brown eyes and soft white paws
Covered your face from teeth and claws
Those rounded ears and tiny nose
Alert to all your sobbing woes
Nuzzled you gently as you fell asleep
Your Nightmares a secret for them to keep.
So thank them now, hold them close and smell
That wonderful scent you know so well
Give them love, repair them, and you will see
That their kinship lasts an eternity.
