Favorite Quote:
When your in love, don't go to your love. Let your love come to you.
-Me-


Your brown, soft fur
kept me warm on cold nights.
Now, your just a tangled mess,
with raggedy curls
and am itchy, red-and-green scarf.

We always huddled close,
blanket after blanket kindling us.
Heat from the vent hit our faces,
and the stars beamed
like a great nightlight.

You were alway my favorite,
no matter what my parents bought me.
Your eyes stopped shining
and your scarf scratched my chin,
but you were still Teddy.

I love you, Teddy.
I always will.
I love you, Teddy


The author's comments:
My language arts teacher, Mrs. Napier, inspired me to write to an inanimate object by showing us the poem "Remembrance of a Friend" as a writer's notebook invitation. Without her, I couldn't be the writer I am today.
