Poem
A toy
He was smiling in the plastic box
Waiting for someone to take him home
A boy noticed those coal-black eyes
And with him left a store
Both were happy and always together
When thunders were pounding
A boy held a Teddy so close and tight
That he could hear beats of a boy's heart
When the night fell
And time was for sleep
They would go in bed together
And together traveled in dreams
How time was passing by
A boy was growing up
Changing his toys for girls
And bicycle for car
Snow-white Teddy Bear
Was left in moist basement
In a carton with all other toys
Which were forgotten
If he could cry, he would cry
White plushy fur became gray during the years
He is old, not shiny and new toy
He is abandoned from a boy
Years of happiness are thrown
They belong to oblivion now
Little Teddy will sitting in a box in dark
And remember those days for the rest of his life
