Teddy Bear
A Love Poem

Sometimes I wait
in dark corners
for you to appear
dressed in red pajamas
dragging your teddy bear
behind you. You sing
lullabies to the bear
and laugh out loud
when you spot me
pretending to be invisible.
I wish you were still
a child and not some
grown woman living
a thousand miles away
in another city raising
your own daughter who
drags her teddy bear
behind her. Sometimes all
I have is my memories
of you dressed in red pajamas.
