The Lonesome Friend

Through the dust
I begin to see
Someone there
Lookin back at me
The dust in the air
Starts to swirling
As I find myself
Just twirling
The friend I found
No doubt you see
Brings back
Happy memories
His fur is dirty
And sadly worn
His eye is missing
His ear is torn
I dance around
With my worldly friend
Thinking time
Will never end
But with the light
Of coming dawn
I see his happy
Days are gone
I put him back
Upon the shelf
Then I kiss him
And I hug myself
Wiping away the tears
I see
He's still my friend
He's my teddy
