The Lost Teddy

Tonight I search for my teddy bear,
Under the bed, behind cushions everywhere.
He isn’t there, my heart beats fast,
I’m scared he’s lost, gone off at last.

I check the drawer, I check the bag,
Down in the corner, dark as a crag.
A little tear rolls down my cheek,
I miss my teddy, he’s what I seek.

Mama comes in and turns on the light,
Looks under the bed with all her might.
”Here he is!” she says with a grin,
My teddy was sleeping, snug within.

I hold him close against my chest,
No more sadness, no more unrest.
Tonight, curled up with my teddy bear,
I fall asleep, safe and warm, without a care.
