The chosen one

by Mr. Darcy   Apr 15, 2008


My heart is so lonely
and yearns for a home.
For many long years
I've been here on my own.

Sat in a shop window
all dusty and bleak.
Nobody wanting
a bear who can't speak.

I can't run and jump
or do what's required.
I'm feeling so useless.
Maybe I should retire?

Then it happened one day
an elf came to see
a bear who was sad,
unloved and lonely.

He'd been sent by Santa
with a quest to find.
A magical bear
who was good and was kind.

He said I'd been chosen
to befriend a boy.
Who is special and gives
so much love, so much joy.

How can I do this
I have no batteries.
I can't talk or play games
I'm not magic, you see!

This kind friendly elf
smiled and gave me a hug.
You have all you need, he said,
you have quite enough.

A gift such as yours
is much more than a gimmick.
You have a love inside
that no other bear can mimic.

Lots of love daddy

    What a beautifully written and charming piece, Michael. Great flow and great sentiment - those battery powered bears never did have quite the same charm, did they? Soulless.....
    All the very best,

      Thanks Ben,

      I had forgotten this poem. way back in 2005. I wrote it for my son's 5th birthday and for a Bear that we had bought him. I was out shopping and we literally stumbled upon this sorry looking bear.

      Thanks for resurrecting this and him.

    A tender piece written with much love! Most people are not one for childrens writes but i myself find them quiet innocent and sweet. Something this world is not full of these days. Great write. Keep it up!
    Thanks
