Ursula T Bear
On sorrow's path, my grief's
relentless storm.
The absence of my dog,
these flowing tears.
The love we shared throughout
those many years,
brings heartfelt mem'ries soft
and truly warm.
Now here, a presence soft
and gentle, too.
A Teddy Bear so kind
with soft brown eyes
looks on to cheer me past
my fraught "good byes."
A Teddy Bear whose presence
makes life new.
A substitute for Barkley,
NEVER, sure--
but Teddy in her presence
comforts me,
as I stroke her light-brown
fuzzy fur.
