A sadness has come over me As I pass this corner bye, A junction on the highway, A lonely cobalt sky. A sodden pale blue teddy bear Stands pinioned to a cross And the glassy glint in Teddy’s eyes Transfix a sense of loss. The traffic whizzes past this point Most people fail to see The sadness manifested In his glassy stare at me. The sadness of a lost young soul Who failed to take the bend, Who with his motor cycle crash Did meet his Maker’s end. I know not why he died so young, I know not why he sped. But know I do, the child like love He felt for his blue Ted. The sadness of a pale blue Ted When pinioned to a cross Stands sodden on a lonely road Invoking tears of loss.

Blue Ted Corner
A sadness has come over me As I pass this corner bye, A junction on the highway, A lonely cobalt sky. A sodden pale blue teddy bear Stands pinioned to a cross And the glassy glint in Teddy’s eyes Transfix a sense of loss. The traffic whizzes past this point Most people fail to see The sadness manifested In his glassy stare at me. The sadness of a lost young soul Who failed to take the bend, Who with his motor cycle crash Did meet his Maker’s end. I know not why he died so young, I know not why he sped. But know I do, the child like love He felt for his blue Ted. The sadness of a pale blue Ted When pinioned to a cross Stands sodden on a lonely road Invoking tears of loss.
