Soft synthetic fur brushes my cheek,
the smell of newness fills my nose.
His fur is the color of your eyes,
melted chocolate to melt my heart.
Brushing my fingertips along
the soft bottoms of his feet brings me back to childhood,
to Rainbow Bear(that ratty old teddy bear)
and too many toys.
It will be easier for me to sleep tonight,
because I have something to hold,
something that is a token of your love.
It’s Teddy Bear Chester, your Valentine’s Day gift;
I’ll hold him tight all through the night.
