If I could write a poem of what Tedy means to me.
My heart and mind would venture on a voyage across the open sea. Adventurous pirates, Tedy and I would be, setting forth on an early morning dawn. Seagulls squawking to and fro.
Following us in any direction we may flow.
For we have no certain course set ablaze.
Following adventures the sunrise guiding our way.
Treasure we have found is having one another around
As we sail deeper into the open sea
The current becomes turbulent, thunder grumbles fear rises in him and though I may smile fear is also in me
Then Tedy reminds me
Papa tells him he needs to pray
for God the Father will give us endurance through all the crashing waves
Tedy and I begin to pray
As I say Amen
The sun breaks through the clouds again
We open our eyes and see ahead an Island awaits
As we approach the Island in excitement of the adventure we continue to create
"Tedy there may be a treasure awaiting we have never seen before"
Tedy's eyes open wide
as both of our imaginations soar
Then Tedy and I would jump off the raft and we would see, alas
Gramps and Papa cooking burgers on the grill
Which indeed a treasure
For our hungry tummies
Awaiting to be filled
A day of imagination with Granny can be
Quite an adventure
In the deep blue sea.
