Sad Sack
Teddy bear outside
All dressed up without bow tie
Naked as a toy
2
shunned
Teddy bear on edge
With no child left to love you
This is rock bottom

12th step
Poor wee Teaddy bear
Out cold on bleak alley floor
Bottle beside you
4
Denial
Teddy bear so soft
You are all stuffing and warm
Homeless in alley
5
Redemption
Last chance Teddy bear
Garbage truck on trash day stops
Maybe recycle*
